# Research
Answer the caller's bounded question with cited evidence. Choose ordinary
investigation, claim checking, a claimed-state audit, decision lineage,
repository tracing or pattern evidence according to the question; these are
optional modes, not a sequence. A quick answer needs no report file.
[Plan](../plan/SKILL.md) owns unified discovery and resumption when the question
is part of shaping a change; return this cited answer to that existing intent
without restarting its interview or taking over caller choices.
## Evidence rules
- **One lineage counts once.** Copies, ports and repeated quotations of one
upstream source are a single exemplar, however many files or reports carry
them. Check provenance before counting instances as independent, and stop
