research

research is a Codebase mapping & onboarding skill for AI agents, published by juicesharp in the rpiv-mono repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates research D (62/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Answer structured research questions about a codebase using targeted parallel analysis agents, then synthesize findings into a research document in .rpiv/artifacts/research/. Internally dispatches the scope-tracer agent to formulate trace-quality research questions, then answers them. Use when the user wants in-depth research on a codebase area, asks to "research X", or needs answers to architecture or behavior questions before designing changes.
