SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Getting accurate answers about a topic, API, or library usually means hours of reading documentation and source code yourself. This Skill delegates that legwork to a background agent that consults primary sources and delivers a cited Markdown report, so you keep working while it reads. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Primary-source investigation: Traces every claim back to official docs, source code, specs, or first-party APIs rather than secondary write-ups. - Cited Markdown reports: Writes findings to a single Markdown file with a source citation for each claim. - Convention-aware storage: Saves the report where the repo already keeps such notes, matching existing conventions. - Use Case: Ask how a specific API endpoint handles rate limits; the background agent reads the official docs and source, then saves a cited summary you can reference in your implementation. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to research how a specific library or API feature works and save the findings as a Markdown note in the repo.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research a topic using primary sources with an AI agent?▼

Invoke the research skill with your question, and it spins up a background agent that reads official docs, source code, and specs directly. The agent writes findings to a cited Markdown file while you continue other work.

How to gather API documentation facts without reading docs myself?▼

Delegate the question to this skill's background agent, which follows every claim back to the first-party API documentation or source code. You receive a Markdown report with each claim linked to its owning source.

Where does the research skill save its findings?▼

It saves findings as a single Markdown file where the repository already keeps such notes, matching existing conventions. If no convention exists, it picks a sensible location and tells you where the file was placed.

Does the research agent use blog posts or secondary articles?▼

No, the agent is instructed to investigate against primary sources only: official documentation, source code, specifications, and first-party APIs. Every claim must be traced back to the source that owns it.

When should I not use a background research agent?▼

Avoid it for questions answerable from code already open in your context or requiring immediate interactive clarification. The agent works autonomously, so ambiguous questions may need refinement before delegation.
