Research

Persistent project-scoped store for deep research findings. You activated this skill because the user asked a substantive research question, or invoked it explicitly with /research <topic>.

If invoked with a topic argument (e.g. /research tailwind-v5), use it as the seed for Retrieval - start by looking up that topic in INDEX.md. Don't research blindly; the lookup may answer immediately.

Three rules carry this skill. They are stated here first because they matter most, and restated at the end:

1. Investigation subagents have zero context. Everything they need goes in one self-contained brief.
2. The contrarian pass is mandatory. An investigation without it is incomplete; re-run or fill it yourself.
3. The main agent owns all file writes. Subagents return text; only you touch .research/.
