SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of shallow or inaccurate research by automating the process of gathering information directly from high-trust primary sources like official documentation, source code, and technical specifications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Primary Source Verification: Ensures all findings are traced back to the original source, eliminating reliance on secondary summaries.
  • Automated Documentation: Compiles research findings into a structured Markdown file, ready for integration into your repository.
  • Use Case: When you need to understand a new API or library, use this skill to have an agent crawl the official documentation and source code to generate a comprehensive, cited summary of the facts.

Quick Start

Use the research skill to investigate the latest authentication patterns in the official documentation and save the findings to a new file.
