SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a non-trivial task requires research before implementation, it is unclear which sources to consult. This Skill classifies the problem type and selects the right reference sources, avoiding wasted effort on irrelevant material. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Problem Classification: Categorizes problems as animation, UX, visual, architecture, security, engineering, product, implementation, or discovery. - Source Selection: Maps each problem type to an ordered set of sources from the references catalog, weighted by authority (established over community). - Research Dispatch: Routes to the appropriate research skill such as reference-research, github-reference-research, market-research, or implementation-research. - Use Case: Facing a security question, the router selects OWASP, PortSwigger, CWE, and real middleware on GitHub, discarding design inspiration sources like Dribbble. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to classify your problem type and route the research to the right sources before implementing.

Frequently Asked Questions about research-router

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide which sources to research before implementing a feature?▼

Classify the problem type first, such as UX, security, or architecture, then consult the references catalog and match each entry's use_when field to your problem. Select sources ordered by authority, starting with established or vendor sources.

What sources should I use for security research?▼

For security problems, the router selects OWASP Top 10 and Cheat Sheets, PortSwigger, CWE, and real middleware implementations on GitHub. These established sources take priority over community or curated material.

How does the research router differ from a skill router?▼

The skill router decides which skills to activate, while the research router decides which sources to consult. It operates as the research routing stage of the audit workflow and dispatches to specialized research skills.

Can inspiration sources like Dribbble justify technical decisions?▼

No. Sources typed as inspiration, such as Dribbble or dark.design, calibrate aesthetic judgment but do not serve as evidence for technical decisions. Only methodology, heuristic, or implementation sources support decisions.

What happens when the references catalog lacks sources for my problem?▼

The router can only dispatch to sources that exist in the references catalog. When sources are insufficient, it routes to discovery sources like LazyWeb, Shoogle, or Hacker News to find additional material.
