Known Problem Hint Research

Goal: find the one missing external hint for a problem the agent has already triaged locally.

This is not broad deep research. It is a narrow, evidence-led spike: paper, blog, article, public writeup, issue, or source discussion that gives the next concrete local test.

Activation gate

Use this skill only after local work has produced a specific problem signature:

• artifact, primitive, or subsystem is identified
• constraints and observable symptoms are known
• at least two plausible local hypotheses were tested or rejected
• a success oracle is defined: recovered key, plaintext, proof, exploit condition, decoded output, or reproduced behavior

Do not use it at the beginning of a task, for generic learning, or to search a whole topic. If the problem is not fingerprinted yet, return to local triage or the relevant domain methodology first.
