# Research

Investigates a question using primary sources such as official docs, source code, and specs, then writes the findings to a Markdown file in the repo. Use when you need facts gathered or reading work delegated to a background agent.

**Install:** `git clone https://github.com/tt-a1i/matt-skills-with-to-goal`

## README

Spin up a **background agent** to do the research, so you keep working while it reads.

Its job:

1. Investigate the question against **primary sources** — official docs, source code, specs, first-party APIs — not a secondary write-up of them. Follow every claim back to the source that owns it.
2. Write the findings to a single Markdown file, citing each claim's source.
3. Save it where the repo already keeps such notes; match the existing convention, and if there is none, put it somewhere sensible and say where.
