research-delegation

name	research-delegation
description	Use read-only delegation and persistent artifacts for research-heavy work. Use when an OpenCode agent needs background investigation, reference gathering, or comparative analysis without mutating the repo.

Research Delegation

Before delegating, call skill_ping with skill_id: "research-delegation" and scope: "project".

Use this lane when:

• the task is exploratory or comparative
• the result should survive compaction
• the delegate does not need to mutate repo files

Rules:

• keep delegated research read-only
• persist useful findings into canonical artifacts or context snapshots before relying on them later
• convert unresolved research outcomes into blockers or follow-up tickets instead of pretending they are settled facts
• do not use research delegation as a loophole for write-capable background implementation
