Adds research — a small, model-invoked engineering skill.

What it does

Spins up a background agent to investigate a question against primary sources (official docs, source code, specs, first-party APIs — never a secondary write-up), then leaves a single cited Markdown file wherever the repo already keeps such notes. Delegable reading legwork: you keep working while it reads, and get back a document to grill, plan, or design against.

Deliberately tiny — grilling/grill-me sized. Leans on two leading words (primary sources, background agent) to stay terse.

Wiring (promoted-skill conventions)

  • skills/engineering/research/SKILL.md
  • docs/engineering/research.md (docs page, per .agents/writing-docs.md)
  • Top-level README.md + skills/engineering/README.md — Model-invoked
  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json
  • ask-matt router — added as a Standalone
  • Changeset (minor)

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

A small, model-invoked skill that spins up a background agent to
investigate a question against high-trust primary sources, then leaves a
single cited Markdown file wherever the repo keeps such notes.

Wires it into the plugin set, both READMEs (Model-invoked), a docs page,
and the ask-matt router, per the repo's promoted-skill conventions.
