| description | Evidence-first research mode for current patterns, implementation risks, and decision support. |
Research
Purpose
Use $research when the correct implementation depends on facts you do not yet have, either from the repo or from current external sources.
Execution Policy
- Start with brownfield evidence from the repo.
- Use primary sources for technical questions.
- End with a decision-ready recommendation, not a wall of notes.
- Persist findings so the next pass does not repeat the work.
Workflow
- Identify the actual unknowns.
- Separate:
- repo truth
- external truth
- assumptions
- Gather only the evidence needed to decide.
- Write the result into
.omx/research/summary.md.
- Update memory facts that execution should keep in view.
Deliverables
- current pattern or contract summary
- risk list
- recommendation with concrete tradeoffs
- open questions that still block planning or execution
