Research

Explore the codebase, research best practices, evaluate alternatives, and recommend the best solution with clear reasoning.

Key Constraints

• Read project instructions first — CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md at repo root, plus stack-specific files.
• Search before suggesting — check if something already exists before recommending new implementations.
• Evaluate 2-3 approaches — describe each, compare pros/cons specific to this codebase, and recommend one.
• Justify with WHY — every recommendation needs reasoning tied to the specific codebase, not generic advice.
• Be specific — include file paths, function names, line numbers. Vague findings aren't useful.
