- Use when researching unfamiliar patterns, evaluating tools or libraries, comparing approaches, or answering "what's the best way" questions with web, docs, and code search.
Research
Research topics using web, docs, and code search. Scale depth to complexity.
Triggers
- "research X", "look into X", "investigate X"
- "what's the best way to", "how should I"
- "what library for", "which approach"
- Before implementing an unfamiliar feature
- Evaluating libraries or tools
Depth Scaling
| Complexity | Example | Sources | Output | | ---------- | --------------------------------- | --------------------- | ----------------------------- | | Quick | "best JSON library for rust" | 1-2 sources | 2-3 options, pick one | | Medium | "auth patterns for API" | Multiple sources | Options table, recommendation | | Deep | "distributed system architecture" | All sources, parallel | Full analysis and tradeoffs |
Assess first: how consequential is this decision? Scale depth accordingly.
Sources
| Query Type | Best Tool | Notes |
| --------------------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------- |
| Library or framework docs | Context7 | Resolve ID first, LLM-optimized |
| Code examples, API patterns | Exa | get_code_context_exa |
| General web, news, articles | Web search | Built-in or Exa |
| Local patterns | Read/Grep | Check the codebase first |
Process
- Search in parallel across the right sources.
- Prioritize official docs, recent content, and high-signal references.
- Synthesize findings into an actionable recommendation.
- Cite sources with links.
