Does the research skill require user permission?

For quick verifications, it proceeds automatically. For Deep Dives that take more than 5 minutes, it will always ask for your permission before digging deeper.

When should I use the research skill?

Use it whenever you encounter version-specific errors, are implementing security-critical features like authentication, or need to verify if an API pattern is still current.

Can it help with software migrations?

Yes, the skill is designed to find official changelogs and migration guides, providing scannable summaries of breaking changes and new code patterns.

Which search tools does this skill use?

It prioritizes Tavily and Exa MCP servers if they are configured, falling back to built-in web search tools in Cursor or Claude Code as needed.

Does it save the research findings to my project?

Quick checks stay in the chat history, but Deep Dives (5-15 min tasks) are automatically saved to the research/ directory for future reference.

Productivity & Workflow

Verifies real-time API statuses, library versions, and documentation to ensure code implementations are current and secure.

This skill empowers Claude to perform contextual web searches to prevent outdated implementations and architectural mistakes. It bridges the gap between static model knowledge and the rapidly evolving tech landscape by providing quick verifications or deep-dive investigations. Whether checking for breaking changes in a third-party migration or verifying the latest React patterns, it ensures that your code reflects current best practices and official documentation, saving hours of debugging caused by deprecated methods or stale information.

Key Features

01Real-time version and API verification using specialized search tools like Tavily and Exa.

02Priority-based tool selection that leverages MCP servers for enhanced, developer-focused search results.

03Actionable output formatting that highlights breaking changes and migration paths with specific code examples.

040 GitHub stars

05Dual-mode operation: Quick checks for immediate answers and Deep Dives for complex architectural decisions.

06Automated documentation generation by saving complex research findings to Markdown files for team reference.

Use Cases

01Verifying if a specific library method has been deprecated before starting a large-scale refactor.

02Researching the latest security best practices and webhook payloads for payment gateway integrations.

03Conducting deep-dive comparisons between competing technologies to inform long-term architecture decisions.
