research

Describe the question you want investigated and the agent spins up a background process to research it. The agent reads primary sources, writes findings to a Markdown file with citations, and saves it in your repo while you keep working.

The agent investigates against primary sources only: 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.

Findings are written to a single Markdown file saved where 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.

Yes, each claim in the Markdown findings file cites its source. The agent's job is to trace every claim back to the primary source that owns it, so the output is verifiable.

Avoid it for quick factual lookups you can answer directly or when the question depends on private context not available in public primary sources. It is best suited for questions requiring reading across docs, specs, or source code.
