How does the skill identify stale research entries?

It parses YAML frontmatter in your Markdown files to check 'Last Verified' and 'Next Review' dates. It also automatically flags any entry older than 6 months as stale.

Does this skill work with external search tools?

Yes, it utilizes MCP tools like Exa and Ref to gather fresh data from the web and GitHub during the update process.

How does it handle large amounts of research?

It processes entries in parallel waves of five agents at a time, ensuring efficient updates while managing system resources and API limits.

Can I preview changes before they are applied?

Yes, using the --dry-run flag will show you exactly which files meet the refresh criteria without spawning agents or modifying files.

What is the 'layer' filter used for?

The --layer flag allows you to target research based on its SDLC level: Layer 0 for process, 1 for languages, and 2 for the tech stack.

Orchestrates parallel agents to automatically detect and update stale research documentation within your project repository.

The Refresh Research skill is a high-level orchestrator designed to keep your project's knowledge base current. It scans your research directory, identifies outdated entries based on custom review dates or age, and spawns parallel sub-agents to fetch the latest data from primary sources. By managing the entire lifecycle—from staleness detection and pre-flight safety checks to wave-based processing, README updates, and automated commits—it ensures your technical documentation never falls behind the fast-paced software ecosystem.
