SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It offloads time-consuming research reading to a background agent, so you can keep working while questions are investigated against trustworthy primary sources instead of unreliable secondary summaries. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Primary-Source Investigation: Traces every claim back to official documentation, source code, specifications, or first-party APIs rather than blog posts or third-party write-ups. - Cited Markdown Reports: Writes findings to a single Markdown file where each claim is linked to its owning source. - Convention-Aware Storage: Saves the report where the repository already keeps such notes, matching existing conventions or choosing a sensible location. - Use Case: Ask how a specific API authentication flow works; a background agent reads the official docs and source code, then delivers a cited Markdown summary in your repo while you continue other tasks. ## 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 repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delegate research to a background agent?▼

Invoke the research skill with your question, and it spins up a background agent that investigates primary sources while you keep working. The agent writes its findings to a cited Markdown file in your repository.

What sources does the research agent use?▼

The agent investigates only primary sources: official documentation, source code, specifications, and first-party APIs. It follows every claim back to the source that owns it rather than relying on secondary write-ups.

Where are research findings saved in the repository?▼

Findings are saved as a single Markdown file wherever the repo already keeps such notes, matching existing conventions. If no convention exists, the agent picks a sensible location and tells you where it saved the file.

Does the research output include citations for each claim?▼

Yes, each claim in the Markdown report cites its owning source. This makes it possible to verify findings directly against the official documentation or code they came from.

When should I not use a background research agent?▼

Avoid it for questions answerable from context already in the conversation or requiring access to private systems the agent cannot reach. It is designed for open-ended reading against public primary sources, not interactive debugging.
