What Best Practice Research does

Best Practice Research gathers official or upstream guidance for a specific technology and compares it to the user’s question. Use it when you need source-backed best practices from docs before choosing or implementing an approach.

Best Practice Research is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Best Practice Research comes from a repository tagged agent, ai, ai-agent, ai-tools and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Best Practice Research

This is a Hermes-native best-practice-research workflow skill.

Why This Exists

best-practice-research exists to keep research work explicit, evidence-backed, and inside the Hermes/executor boundary instead of relying on ad hoc chat narration.

Do Not Use When

  • The work needs multi-source current evidence, a market or literature comparison, or a business brief rather than one technology's upstream guidance; use research.

Examples

Good example:

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
