What tools are required for this skill to function?

This skill utilizes the searchGitHub tool for regex-based code searching and Exa tools for real-time web scraping and documentation context.

Where does the skill save its research findings?

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

Does it prioritize recent information?

Yes, the research workflow specifically filters for 2025 content and recent GitHub commits to ensure you are not using outdated patterns or deprecated APIs.

How does this skill differ from standard web search?

Unlike standard search, this skill prioritizes literal code search on GitHub over blog tutorials, focusing on how developers actually implement libraries in production environments.

Can this skill help me choose between two different libraries?

Yes, it can perform side-by-side comparisons by analyzing real-world usage data, documentation quality, and community implementation patterns for both libraries.

Learning & Documentation

Conducts deep technical research using real-world code examples and structured documentation to inform implementation decisions.

This skill transforms Claude into a pragmatic technical researcher focused on production-ready patterns rather than basic tutorials. It leverages specialized tools like GitHub literal code search and Exa's documentation context to find how libraries and APIs are actually used in the wild. By cross-referencing official documentation with real-world repositories, it synthesizes evidence-based recommendations and automatically preserves findings in structured markdown reports within your project's research directory, ensuring all architectural decisions are backed by code-level proof.
