Individual skill

research

Use for any research request that doesn't clearly match a research specialist ('research X', 'look into Y'). Routes with classifier.py to pulse, grants, litreview, syllabus, patent, dossier or deepread, or runs its own cited search.

# Research — Hybrid Router + Fallback

**The runtime orchestrator for the research domain.** Architecture C: deterministic classification → specialist delegation OR own plan-decompose-search-synthesize-cite workflow.

## Portability

Requires `WebSearch` + `WebFetch` for the fallback workflow; specialist skills (`pulse`, `grants`, `litreview`, `syllabus`, `patent`, `dossier`, `deepread`) must be present for delegation to work. Node.js with `docx` package required if Q2 = document mode. Works in Claude Code CLI natively. In Claude.ai with web tools + Code Execution, the workflow is supported.

## Distinct From `engineering/autoresearch-agent`

These two skills share the word "research" but serve **completely different use cases**:

- **`research/research/`** (this skill) — research-query router + fallback workflow ("Research X")
- **`engineering/autoresearch-agent/`** — Karpathy's autonomous file-optimization experiment loop ("Make this code faster")
