research

name	research
description	Use when specifics matter more than general training knowledge, or when details are newer than the training cutoff. Triggers include "research this", "find documentation for", "look up how X works", "what's the current state of", and "what's the prior art".

Research

Go to the internet. Training knowledge is general and dated — use this when you need specifics or recency.

Synthesize what you find into a saved document. Don't just dump links — capture what matters and why.

Saving

Save to .lore/work/research/[topic].md using kebab-case. Load ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/frontmatter-schema.md for the frontmatter fields. Include the date frontmatter field — research goes stale and future sessions need to know when it was gathered.

Write the body Markdown-first per the "Body Format" section of ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/frontmatter-schema.md. Lead with a "Key Findings" section so conclusions aren't buried in prose. Reach for embedded inline HTML only for a comparison table or diagram that prose can't carry.
