What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by egma-ai/egma in .agents/skills/research/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Repository configuration overrides this skill's default planning paths.
If a Planning root is defined, resolve CONTEXT.md, docs/adr/,
docs/agents/, .scratch/, and .out-of-scope/ from that root.
Skill-local paths remain unchanged.
Spin up a background agent to do the research, so you keep working while it reads.
Its job:
- Investigate the question against primary sources — official docs, source code, specs, first-party APIs — not a secondary write-up of them. Follow every claim back to the source that owns it.
- Write the findings to a single Markdown file, citing each claim's source.
- Save it where the repo already keeps such notes; match the existing convention, and if there is none, put it somewhere sensible and say where.
