Deep Research Skill

Trigger condition:

When the task involves understanding large swathes of the codebase, exploring patterns, or finding documentation context prior to planning.

Requirements:

1. Model Selection: Use Opus 4.6 for executing this Research skill. Do not rely on smaller/tier-two models for deep cross-module correlation.
2. Behavior constraint: You are restricted entirely from modifying files, creating structures, or proposing code diffs.
3. Execution pattern:
   • Use grep_search and view_file.
   • Extract paths and explicit line numbers (e.g., path/file.py#L40-L50).
   • Synthesize an objective summary.
   • Validate your token footprint. If >25% context, prune redundant returns.
