spk-mission-research

name	spk-mission-research
description	Operate pre-spec or in-mission research workflows while keeping findings tied to mission decisions.

spk-mission-research

Use this skill when a mission needs discovery, external facts, design precedent, technical investigation, or decision support.

Flow

1. Use a research mission for pre-spec discovery workflows.
2. Invoke /spec-kitty.research only after /spec-kitty.plan; it scaffolds research artifacts from an existing plan.
3. Write findings as decision-ready evidence, not a loose reading list.
4. Record assumptions, source quality, and unresolved questions.
5. Return findings to spk-mission-specify or spk-mission-plan.

Rule

Research is not a substitute for a spec. It should narrow uncertainty enough for the next mission phase.
