Create Research

Build a self-contained explanation of the repository as it exists at the researched commit. The default product is a technical map: what exists, where it lives, how it behaves, how its parts connect, and how that behavior is tested.

Recommendations, redesigns, implementation proposals, critiques, and causal diagnosis are separate assignments. Include one only when the user explicitly puts it in scope, and label it apart from the current-state findings.

Process

1. Resolve the inquiry

Read the research protocol in full before exploring. It defines the direct-question, artifact, codebase, dependency, web, and follow-up branches; the protected-file boundary; source precedence; delegation; artifact placement; and permalink rules.
