Research

Investigate a question against high-trust primary sources and capture the findings as a Markdown file in the repo. Use when the user wants a topic researched, docs or API facts gathered, or reading legwork delegated to a background agent.

The instruction itself

as written by the author

Spin up a background agent to do the research, so you keep working while it reads.

Its job:

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

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take google/research from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
