description: "Investigate a question using primary sources and save cited findings. Use for research or documentation-gathering requests."

Delegate research when it can run independently alongside useful work and the host supports it. Otherwise perform it directly; a simple lookup does not require a subagent.

Its job:

1. 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.
2. Write the findings to a single Markdown file, citing each claim's source.
3. 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.
