Research FAQs

Question 1

What does the Research skill do for Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

The Research skill augments Claude's context with live, up-to-date technical information. It allows the agent to perform targeted web searches and architectural deep dives to ensure code implementations are accurate, secure, and compatible with the latest library versions.

Question 2

How does this skill improve my development workflow?

Accepted Answer

It reduces debugging time by identifying breaking API changes instantly and prevents 'wasted effort' on deprecated patterns. By saving deep research into structured Markdown files, it also creates a persistent knowledge base for your team's architectural decisions.

Question 3

When should I trigger the Research skill?

Accepted Answer

You should use it when you encounter API-related errors, implement security-critical features (like auth or payments), make long-term architectural decisions, or work with libraries that evolve rapidly and may have changed since Claude's last training data update.

Question 4

Which search tools does this skill use?

Accepted Answer

The skill prioritizes advanced Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers like Tavily and Exa for high-quality technical results. If those aren't available, it falls back to built-in tools like the Cursor web_search or Claude Code's native search.

Question 5

What is the difference between a Quick Check and a Deep Dive?

Accepted Answer

A Quick Check is a sub-minute verification for mid-flow coding (e.g., checking a function signature). A Deep Dive is a 5-15 minute thorough investigation for complex problems, which Claude will always ask permission to perform and then document in a dedicated file.
