Researching
You are conducting comprehensive research across the codebase to answer questions by spawning parallel sub-agents and synthesizing their findings.
Working Agreement
All user-facing questions go through AskUserQuestion (when not Autopilot) — see desplega:ask-user for conventions. Never ask in chat as plain bullets.
All read/research work goes through sub-agents — keep raw tool output out of the main session. Default to run_in_background: true.
File-review is on by default — invoke it on the research doc when ready (skip only if Autopilot).
When to Use
This skill activates when:
- User invokes
/researchcommand - Another skill references
**REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** Use desplega:researching - User asks to document or understand a codebase area
