What format is the final research output?

The skill generates a structured Markdown report featuring an executive summary, technology overview, best practices, implementation guides, and a list of verified resources.

How does the Technical Research skill gather information?

The skill employs a multi-source strategy including the Gemini bash command for advanced reasoning, standard WebSearch tools for live data, and GitHub-specific analysis to read documentation and source code.

Can I limit the depth of the research?

Absolutely. The skill is designed to respect user constraints, with a default maximum of 5 research tool calls to ensure the process remains focused and cost-effective.

Does this skill help with security and performance?

Yes, the methodology includes specific phases for analyzing security implications, checking for recent CVEs, and identifying performance characteristics or optimization benchmarks.
