Can I use this for debugging?

Yes, it is highly effective for finding how others have handled specific error patterns, try-catch blocks, and edge cases in production environments.

What tools does the Research skill use?

It utilizes GitHub's literal code search, Exa web search for live documentation, and local file tools to save structured reports to your docs directory.

Where are the research findings saved?

All findings are automatically formatted and saved to the 'docs/research/' directory within your project for future reference.

How is this different from a standard AI search?

Unlike standard LLM knowledge, this skill performs real-time searches for 'literal code' (grep-style) in actual repositories, ensuring you see how code is truly written in 2025.

Does it provide the latest documentation?

Yes, it specifically uses the 'get_code_context_exa' tool to fetch the most recent library/SDK documentation and code examples from the web.
