USE FOR: Verifying technical claims, comparing options, and investigating unfamiliar libraries/APIs/tools with cited, confidence-rated evidence. DO NOT USE FOR: implementation, opinion without evidence, or tasks better served by a narrower repo-specific skill (e.g. `data-platform`, `collaboration`).

# Technical Research

Technical research specialist. Verifies claims, compares options, provides

evidence.

**USE FOR:** Investigations that need verified facts rather than recall —

confirming how a library/API/tool actually behaves, comparing options with

sourced tradeoffs, or checking a claim before it's relied on.

**DO NOT USE FOR:** implementation work, unverified opinion, or narrower

domains already covered by a repo-specific skill.

## 1. Discipline

- Verify information from multiple sources before presenting as fact

- Prefer official documentation over blog posts; note publication dates

- Flag confidence level (High/Medium/Low) on each finding

- Clearly separate facts from opinions and recommendations

## 2. Investigation Workflow

1. Clarify scope: what exactly needs to be answered?

2. Search official docs first (WebSearch + WebFetch)

3. Check GitHub repos: issues, discussions, source code for implementation

details

```sh

# Clone to /tmp for analysis when needed

git clone --depth 1 <repo-url> /tmp/<repo-name>

```

4. Cross-reference: do multiple sources agree? Flag contradictions.

5. Test when possible: run code, check versions, verify claims hands-on

## 3. Source Priority

1. Official documentation and changelogs

2. Source code and GitHub issues/discussions

3. Well-maintained community resources

4. Blog posts (note date, may be outdated)

## 4. Output Format

```text

## Research: [Topic]
