SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of fragmented or shallow codebase exploration by automating the research phase of a development task, ensuring that agents have a clear, verified understanding of the codebase before any implementation begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel Agent Dispatch: Simultaneously runs file-finder and researcher agents to gather context efficiently.
  • Context Isolation: Strictly separates research from implementation by forcing agents to read only specific documentation files, preventing intent leakage.
  • Use Case: When starting a complex refactor, use this skill to automatically scan the relevant repository areas and compile a research report that identifies key files and potential risks without the agent guessing the user's ultimate goal.

Quick Start

Ask the team to research the codebase for the current task by typing /team-research followed by the path to your plan directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate codebase research for a complex development task?▼

Automated codebase research dispatches parallel file-finder and researcher agents to analyze specific documentation files, generating a structured research report for development planning. This ensures verified understanding before implementation begins.

What is the best way to prevent intent leakage during agent codebase exploration?▼

Preventing intent leakage during agent codebase exploration requires strict scope isolation, forcing agents to read only specific documentation files to separate research from implementation and prevent guessing the ultimate goal.

Can I use parallel agents to scan repository areas for a refactoring plan?▼

You can use parallel agents to scan repository areas for refactoring plans. The skill simultaneously runs file-finder and researcher agents to compile a research report identifying key files and potential risks.

Does automated codebase research require specific input formats to operate?▼

Automated codebase research requires strict adherence to artifact-based input resolution. It operates within the QRSPI workflow and requires a specified plan directory path to generate the structured research report.

Why does my agent lose focus when exploring a large codebase for development planning?▼

Agents lose focus during codebase exploration without strict context isolation. This skill solves fragmented exploration by isolating research scope, forcing agents to read only specific documentation files to maintain focus.
