Delegate Broad Codebase Research

Large investigations can flood the primary agent context with irrelevant files and logs. This skill delegates read-only research and returns concise conclusions with cited evidence.

Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "research" from https://skillstore.io/skills/warpdotdev-research.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/warpdotdev-research/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "research". Find the root cause of this failing integration test and cite the relevant implementation and test locations.

Expected outcome:

  • Root cause: The retry handler converts the timeout into a permanent failure.
  • Evidence: The report identifies the handler and failing test locations.
  • Caveat: External service behavior was not reproduced locally.

Using "research". Summarize this large pull request, including behavior changes, risks, and test coverage.

Expected outcome:

  • Change: The request pipeline now validates credentials before loading account data.
  • Risk: Existing clients with incomplete credentials may fail earlier.
  • Coverage: Unit tests cover validation, but migration behavior remains untested.

Using "research". Explain how session recovery works across the repository and identify the main call sites.

Expected outcome:

  • Flow: Recovery starts after connection loss, restores persisted state, and reconnects active sessions.
  • Evidence: The summary lists the coordinator, persistence layer, and reconnect entry points.
  • Unknown: Concurrent recovery behavior requires runtime verification.

All five static findings are false positives. Four are Markdown inline-code spans, while line 36 discusses subagent costs without performing reconnaissance. No prompt injection, command execution, or semantic security issue was found.

What You Can Build

Trace a complex test failure

Delegate inspection of long CI logs and related code, then receive the likely cause with supporting locations.

Summarize a large pull request

Review a substantial diff through a subagent and receive the main changes, rationale, risks, and evidence.

Survey an unfamiliar architecture

Map how a component or API is used across a repository without loading every inspected file into primary context.

Try These Prompts

Answer a repository question 
Investigate {question} in {repository_path}. Work read-only. Return a concise answer with exact file paths, symbols, and important caveats.
Diagnose a failure 
Analyze {log_or_test_failure} and trace the relevant code. Identify the root cause, cite supporting locations, and note anything not verified.
Review a large change 
Research {pull_request_or_diff}. Summarize behavioral changes, affected components, design rationale, risks, and tests. Support each major conclusion with file locations.
Coordinate independent investigations 
Investigate these independent areas in parallel: {area_one}, {area_two}, and {area_three}. Synthesize the results, preserve evidence, and identify cross-area uncertainties.

Best Practices

  • Provide an exact question, repository path, and suspected files or symbols.
  • Keep investigations read-only unless the task explicitly requires changes.
  • Request concise conclusions, exact evidence locations, caveats, and unresolved questions.

Avoid

  • Do not delegate a single lookup or a few known file reads.
  • Do not delegate when the primary agent must edit the same files immediately.
  • Do not split one coherent investigation into artificial parallel tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use this skill?
Use it when investigation requires many files, long logs, large diffs, or broad repository surveys.
When should I inspect files directly?
Inspect files directly for small lookups or when you need their contents for immediate edits.
Does the skill modify repository files?
The workflow is read-only by default. A task must explicitly request changes before a subagent should modify files.
Can it run several investigations at once?
Yes. Parallel subagents are appropriate only when the questions are independent and do not require shared intermediate findings.
What should a research report include?
It should include a direct answer, exact evidence locations, relevant symbols, caveats, and unresolved questions.
Which AI tools support this skill?
The report declares support for Claude, Codex, and Claude Code. Local subagent availability still depends on the host environment.
