Does it support automated code reviews?

Absolutely. Use '/research review' to analyze staged changes, specific branches, or pull requests for architectural consistency and potential bugs.

Can I use this skill to find external libraries?

Yes, the '/research web' command allows you to search for open-source solutions and compare them against custom implementations.

What models are used for the research tasks?

The skill intelligently delegates tasks to different models, using Claude Sonnet for deep analysis and Haiku for faster, more cost-effective exploration.

What is the RPI workflow supported by this skill?

RPI stands for Research, Plan, and Implement. This skill handles the Research and Planning phases, ensuring you have a solid strategy before writing code.

Developer Tools

Conducts deep codebase analysis, web-based solution research, and structured implementation planning to streamline development workflows.

The Research skill is a core component of the RPI (Research, Plan, Implement) workflow, designed to provide developers with deep technical context before they begin coding. It automates the process of exploring unfamiliar codebases, analyzing project dependencies, and searching the web for optimal open-source libraries or architectural patterns. By leveraging specialized AI agents, the skill can generate detailed implementation plans, perform AI-powered code reviews, and help developers make informed 'Make vs. Buy' decisions. Whether you are onboarding to a new project or planning a complex feature, this skill ensures your implementation is grounded in a thorough understanding of the existing environment and industry best practices.
