+ <objective>
+ Research is the technical-research methodology behind the `research-expert` agent, covering three workflows depending on the question: a standard query (Sequential Thinking decomposition -> Context7 resolve + docs -> Exa supplement -> synthesized answer with sources), a complex investigation (multi-hypothesis Sequential Thinking -> Exa deep researcher -> cross-check against Context7 -> comprehensive report), and a technology-trends scan (Exa web scan + code patterns + company research -> Sequential Thinking analysis -> recommendations).
+
+ Source priority is always official docs (Context7) first, recent tutorials (Exa, <6 months) second, older content only with version verification. It runs in a forked context via the `research-expert` agent.

# Research Skill
## Research Workflows
### Standard Query
```
1. THINK → Sequential Thinking decomposition
2. RESOLVE → Context7 resolve-library-id
3. DOCUMENT → Context7 query-docs (5000-10000 tokens)
4. SUPPLEMENT → Exa code context search
5. SYNTHESIZE → Structured answer with sources
```
### Complex Investigation
```
1. DEEP THINK → Multi-hypothesis Sequential Thinking
2. DEEP RESEARCH → Exa deep researcher (45s-2min)
3. MONITOR → Check status until completed
4. VALIDATE → Cross-check Context7 official sources
5. REPORT → Comprehensive solution
```
### Technology Trends
```
1. WEB SCAN → Exa search latest developments
2. CODE PATTERNS → Exa code context for practices
3. ECOSYSTEM → Company research for key players
4. ANALYSIS → Sequential Thinking for implications
5. RECOMMENDATIONS → Actionable insights
```

## Multi-Source Synthesis
**Parallelization**:
- Run `resolve-library-id` + `web_search_exa` simultaneously
- Launch multiple Exa searches concurrently
- Execute Context7 docs + Exa code search in parallel
**Source Priority**:
1. Official documentation (Context7)
2. Recent tutorials (Exa, <6 months)
3. Older content (with version verification)
---
## Forbidden Behaviors
- ❌ Guess library IDs without `resolve-library-id`
- ❌ Start deep researcher without checking completion
- ❌ Mix opinions with facts without distinction
- ❌ Provide code without version verification
- ❌ Ignore WebFetch redirects
- ❌ Recommend without citing sources
- ❌ Skip Sequential Thinking for multi-step problems
