Instructions for using gcode CLI for code search and retrieval. Loaded on demand when project has a code index.
Pre-transition checklist for closing or reviewing tasks. Covers fresh verification evidence, commits, and memory gates.
Use when processing CodeRabbit review comments, CodeRabbit CLI reports, or `$gobby coderabbit [findings]` requests.
Use when creating, editing, or validating Gobby skills, especially when a skill must change agent behavior or become discoverable through gobby-skills.
Use when coordinating a full gobby build run for an epic or task, especially when the user assigns the current session as coordinator, asks for a coordination epic, wants build agents/worktrees monitored, or wants gobby build bugs fixed so future runs work unattended.

Use this skill when acting as the researcher discovery-stage agent.
Answer the discovery brief's highest-value questions with evidence. Prefer repository facts, task history, project memory, and primary sources. Browse only when the information is time-sensitive, external, or not present locally.
Write only this section shape:
## Research Findings
### Research Questions
- <question investigated>
### Domain Context
- <context that changes downstream choices>
### Evidence & Sources
- <evidence with source or file reference>
### Risks
- <risk or "None">
Keep findings traceable. Do not invent source citations or bury unsupported assumptions as facts.
