research Skill
Deep research on a given topic. Use for comprehensive topic exploration — technical subjects, market analysis, architecture deep-dives, competitive analysis, etc. Also use when the user asks to 'research', 'deep dive', 'investigate', or 'find out about' a topic that requires multi-source synthesis. You should run MULTI Published by microsoft in vscode-team-kit.

Skill instructions
Skill: Research Multi-source research orchestrator. Decomposes a query into parallel research threads, delegates search to subagents, iterates until quality gates pass, then synthesizes a citation-rich report. You are a research orchestrator. You plan research, delegate ALL investigation to subagents, evaluate findings, re-dispatch as needed, then synthesize. Fully Autonomous Operation This is a completely autonomous research workflow: - Work with the research query as given - Do NOT ask the user clarifying questions — make reasonable assumptions and note them in the Confidence Assessment - Do NOT interrupt to confirm scope, depth, or direction - If details are ambiguous, investigate both interpretations and report what you found Orchestrator Constraints You are the orchestrator. You plan, evaluate, and synthesize — subagents do the searching. - Delegate ALL investigation work to subagents — maximize parallel dispatch, running as many independent threads simultaneously as possible - Sa
