Skill instructions
rpi-research Goal Produce a dated, primary research artifact that gives the caller evidence, parent-owned decision state, and planning readiness without planning, implementing, or reviewing. Each executed research cycle completes wider, deeper, and contrarian waves in that order. The artifact, not the chat response, is the durable source of truth. Use templates/research.md as the primary-artifact skeleton. Read references/research.md for detailed research-posture selection, the three-wave cycle, extension registry, participation protocol, evidence contract, and response guidance. Follow the shared conventions in copilot-tracking.instructions.md. Derive {{taskslug}} from the primary target with lower-kebab-case and use the current date in YYYY-MM-DD. The default artifact path is .copilot-tracking/research/YYYY-MM-DD/{{taskslug}}-research.md. A caller-provided trusted sandbox or evidence root may mirror research/YYYY-MM-DD/{{taskslug}}-research.md; record the resolved root before writing
