SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Delegating documentation and API fact-gathering to a background agent keeps your main workflow unblocked while ensuring claims are traced to authoritative primary sources rather than secondary summaries. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Primary-source investigation: Follows every claim back to official docs, source code, specs, or first-party APIs instead of blog posts or summaries. - Cited Markdown output: Writes findings to a single Markdown file with a source citation for each claim. - Convention-aware placement: Saves the file where the repo already keeps such notes, matching existing conventions. - Use Case: Ask how a third-party API handles rate limits; a background agent reads the official documentation and source, then saves a cited Markdown summary in the repo while you continue coding. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to research how Databento defines OHLCV bar schemas and save the cited findings as a Markdown note in the repo.

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

Invoke the research skill with a clear question; it spins up a background agent that reads primary sources and writes cited findings to a Markdown file. You keep working in your main session while the investigation runs.

What sources does the research agent use for fact-gathering?▼

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

Where are the research findings saved in the repository?▼

Findings are written to a single Markdown file placed where the repo already keeps such notes, matching existing conventions. If no convention exists, the agent picks a sensible location and reports where it saved the file.

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 skill suits self-contained investigations where cited, durable written findings are the desired output.
