research

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

It relies on primary sources only: official documentation, source code, specifications, and first-party APIs. Every claim in the final report is traced back to the source that owns it rather than secondary articles.

Findings are written to a single Markdown file in the repository. It follows the repo's existing convention for such notes, and if none exists, it picks a sensible location and tells you where.

Yes, the investigation runs as a background agent specifically so your main workflow is not blocked. You receive the completed Markdown report when the reading and citation work finishes.

Avoid it for questions answerable from your own codebase context or when you need interactive back-and-forth exploration. It is designed for self-contained questions requiring reading of external primary sources.
