What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by stevesolun/ctx in .agents/skills/research/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Clarify the decision or question the research must support. Prefer official documentation, source code, specifications, papers, and first-party APIs. Trace material claims to the source that owns them, distinguish source facts from inference, and account for publication and event dates when recency matters.

Use parallel research lanes only when the question has independent source areas and the coordination cost is worthwhile. Keep narrow lookups local.

Return findings in the form the user requested, with citations close to the claims they support. Create a repository artifact only when requested or when it clearly serves the task and is within the authorized scope.
