Research Command

Read-only external knowledge gathering. Walk the 5-tier source ladder; cite every claim to a primary source; flag training-data-only assertions explicitly. Do NOT write, edit, or commit files.

When to Apply / NOT

Apply:

• Library/framework/SDK/API docs — signatures, config options, migration
• Version-specific behavior — changelogs, deprecations, breaking changes
• Vendor announcements, RFCs, public web technical content
• Any named library, framework, SDK, API, CLI tool, or cloud service

NOT apply:

• Questions about a local repo's code — use a codebase exploration workflow instead
• Autonomous goal-directed research loops (multi-step, agent-driven)
• Implementation or file editing
