Where does the Research skill save its findings?

Findings are saved as kebab-case markdown files in the .lore/research/ directory of your project for easy version control and reference.

Does it integrate with other project notes?

Yes, the skill automatically checks the .lore/brainstorm/ directory to ensure the research stays aligned with your project's evolving ideas and goals.

How does it handle time-sensitive information?

Research documents include a date field in the frontmatter, allowing you to track when the information was gathered and determine if it needs an update.

Can I use this for specific library documentation?

Yes, the skill is specifically designed to fetch and synthesize documentation for libraries, frameworks, and APIs from outside your current project scope.

Learning & Documentation

Gathers and synthesizes external documentation, prior art, and library information into a structured project knowledge base.

This skill empowers Claude Code to step outside the immediate project boundaries to investigate external resources such as API documentation, existing software patterns, and framework specifics. By systematically fetching and analyzing information from the web, it helps developers understand new libraries or evaluate architectural choices without manual browsing. All findings are distilled into standardized markdown documents within the project's .lore/research/ directory, ensuring that critical external knowledge is preserved, timestamped, and easily accessible for future development tasks and team collaboration.
