Agent Skills: research

Use when a specific question must be answered before work can sensibly proceed — how something currently works, whether an approach is viable, what already exists, what a change would touch. Concerns answering the question that was actually asked, at a confidence level stated honestly. Trigger on investigation requests and on discovering that a decision rests on something unverified. Do NOT use for building a general model of an unfamiliar codebase — that is orient.
