Conducts rigorous technical research into libraries, APIs, and code patterns using real-world GitHub implementations and live web data.

This skill empowers Claude to act as a high-level technical researcher that prioritizes actual production code over generic tutorials. By leveraging specialized tools like searchGitHub for literal code patterns and Exa for high-quality documentation, it helps developers investigate new technologies, debug complex issues, and compare implementation strategies. Following a 'show me the code' philosophy, it automatically synthesizes findings into structured Markdown reports saved directly to your project's docs/research folder, ensuring all discovery work is persistent, verified, and actionable.
