What is the tool escalation ladder in Code Research Pro?

The escalation ladder is a strategy that prioritizes fast, low-cost local tools like Grep and Glob before moving to more intensive methods like web searches, API scripts, and finally, heavy-duty MCP servers.

Does it support JavaScript-heavy documentation sites?

Yes, for complex or dynamic websites that require a browser, the skill can escalate to Tier 3 using the Chrome Web Tools MCP for headless browser automation.

Can this skill search my local files and external sources simultaneously?

It follows a sequence: it typically starts by searching your local codebase to see if the answer is present, then expands to the web and specialized APIs if further context is required.

How does this skill handle GitHub and Stack Overflow research?

The skill includes specialized Bash scripts that interface directly with the GitHub and Stack Overflow APIs to retrieve structured data like issues, PRs, and top-voted solutions.

Is this skill suitable for auditing unfamiliar codebases?

Absolutely. It uses a combination of local exploration tools and documentation fetching to help developers quickly build a mental map of unknown architectures and patterns.
