How does this research skill differ from standard AI web searching?

Unlike standard search, this skill prioritizes literal code search on GitHub to find production usage rather than generic tutorials, ensuring findings are based on real-world evidence.

Where are the research reports stored?

All research findings are automatically saved as structured Markdown files in the 'docs/research/' directory of your project.

Does it provide documentation for specific library versions?

Yes, it utilizes the get_code_context_exa tool to retrieve high-quality documentation and examples for specific SDKs and API versions.

Can this skill help with library comparisons?

Yes, it uses a specific strategy to compare technologies by analyzing recent articles and verifying claims against actual implementation patterns in public repositories.

Conducts deep technical research by finding real-world code implementations and official documentation using advanced search tools.

About

The Technical Research skill transforms Claude into an expert technical lead that investigates libraries, APIs, and architectural patterns with a focus on 'code over talk.' By leveraging advanced GitHub code search and Exa documentation scraping, it bypasses generic tutorials to find production-grade implementations and verified best practices. The skill synthesizes findings into structured reports—complete with evidence from real code and official context—and automatically archives them in your project's local documentation for future reference.
