Research the topic: $ARGUMENTS

Research Strategy

  1. First check the codebase for existing knowledge using Grep and Glob
  2. Use Perplexity MCP for knowledge queries about the topic
  3. Use Firecrawl MCP to scrape specific documentation pages if needed
  4. Use Context7 MCP for library-specific documentation
  5. Synthesize findings into actionable recommendations
