Does this skill store research data for later use?

Quick checks remain in the conversation history, but significant 'Deep Dive' research is saved as markdown files in a dedicated research directory for team reference.

Which search tools does this skill use?

It prioritizes specialized MCP servers like Tavily and Exa for code-focused search, falling back to built-in web search tools if no MCP servers are configured.

When does Claude trigger a research task?

Claude triggers research when it detects potential API changes, security-critical implementations (like auth or payments), or when architectural decisions require up-to-date verification.

How long does a research session take?

Simple verifications take under a minute, while comprehensive deep dives for complex problems typically range from 5 to 15 minutes.

Productivity & Workflow

Conducts targeted web research to ensure secure implementations and prevent errors caused by outdated documentation or API changes.

This skill empowers Claude to perform real-time information gathering, shifting from static knowledge to verified web data to prevent broken implementations. It specializes in two distinct workflows: 'Quick Checks' for immediate verification of library versions or small facts, and 'Deep Dives' for complex architectural decisions and security-critical patterns. By prioritizing official documentation, changelogs, and GitHub releases, it helps developers navigate rapidly evolving tech stacks while documenting significant findings in structured markdown files for the whole team to reference.
