Can this skill help with framework comparisons?

Yes, it is specifically designed to create comparison matrices that evaluate performance, maintainability, security, and community adoption metrics across multiple options.

What is the benefit of the 5-phase methodology?

The 5-phase approach (Analyze, Discover, Gather, Synthesize, Compile) ensures that research is systematic and unbiased, moving from broad discovery to specific, evidence-backed recommendations.

How does the Research skill find information?

It orchestrates queries across three primary sources: context7 for official library documentation, octocode for GitHub repository intelligence, and firecrawl for general web results and tutorials.

Does the skill provide source citations?

Every finding includes direct links to authoritative sources and is assigned a confidence level (High/Medium/Low) based on the source's credibility and consensus.
