research
Investigate a question against high-trust primary sources and capture the findings as a Markdown file in the repo. Use when the user wants a topic researched, docs or API facts gathered, or reading legwork delegated to a background agent.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a structured approach to gathering primary source information and documenting it in Markdown, which the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Spin up a background agent to do the research, so you keep working while it reads. Its job: 1. Investigate the question against primary sources — official docs, source code, specs, first-party APIs — not a secondary write-up of them. Follow every claim back to the source that owns it. 2. Write the findings to a single Markdown file, citing each claim's source. 3. Save it where the repo already keeps such notes; match the existing convention, and if there is none, put it somewhere sensible and say where.
How to use it
Reference it in AdaL, Claude Code, Cursor or any coding agent — nothing to install:
