+# Research Skill
+
+For unfamiliar APIs or libraries: identify authoritative sources, compare alternatives, verify version-specific behavior, and separate verified facts from assumptions.
+
+## Subagents
+When you need to delegate sub‑tasks, use the `pi-subagents` skill.
+
+**Example:** When evaluating a new library, spawn a **scout** to read the official documentation, another **scout** to search for community benchmarks, and a **reviewer** to compare the findings against your project's requirements and version constraints.
+
+*You may adapt the delegation pattern to fit the exact requirements of the codebase.*
+
+## Process
+
+### 1. Identify Sources
+- Official documentation
+- Source repository
+- Specifications/RFCs
+- Release notes/changelogs
+
+### 2. Compare
+- Multiple sources for verification
+- Version-specific differences
+- Community best practices
+
+### 3. Verify
+- Test assumptions with code
+- Check version compatibility
+- Note deprecations
+
+### 4. Distinguish
+- Mark verified vs. inferred
+- Cite sources
+- Flag uncertainties
