Research

Answer a bounded question with evidence. Prefer primary sources over commentary, and trace every important claim back to the source that owns it.

Run the reading pass inline. For requested delegation, apply the operating defaults. The question's breadth changes the research scope, not execution authority.

Process

1. Pin the question

Write a one-sentence research question before collecting evidence. Include:

• The decision the research should support.
• The scope: repo-local, external documentation, product behavior, market/tooling, or a mix.
• The expected output location if this came from a ticket or wayfinding map.
