- memory/: cross-session project memory with decisions, lessons, failures, architecture, and sessions categories. Each has format templates and lifecycle documentation. - skills/: 12 reusable specialized methodologies (tdd, systematic-debugging, architecture-design, code-review, security-review, repository-analysis, failure-analysis, refactoring, test-analysis, incident-investigation, browser-automation, research). Each has frontmatter and methodology sections. - improvements/: proposal-based improvement system requiring human approval. - scripts/memory-lifecycle.sh: deterministic memory operations (recall, store, list, search, sessions, cleanup). - scripts/test-memory-system.sh: 12 structural tests for all new systems. - orchestrator.md: added Memory Recall stage, Learning and Memory Storage stage, Improvement Proposals workflow, memory/skills rules, and 3 new actions (A23-A27) to the action catalog. Updated behavioral acceptance test and state separation model. - All 12 subagents: added Memory & Skills Awareness sections with recall and store instructions. - docs/AGENT_ARCHITECTURE.md: documented memory, skills, and improvements systems (sections 12-14). Updated action count (27), state model, and remaining weaknesses. - README.md: documented new systems, updated repository layout, added test-memory-system.sh documentation. All 39 tests pass (16 architecture + 12 memory + 11 bootstrap).

Research
When to use this skill
- A question needs a well-researched answer
- Comparing alternatives
- Understanding best practices
Step-by-step procedure
1. Define the question
- What exactly are we trying to find out?
- What constitutes a good answer?
- What are the constraints?
2. Gather sources
- Internal: code, docs, memory, agent reports
- External: web, documentation sites, official references
- Evaluate source reliability
3. Analyze
- Compare findings across sources
- Identify contradictions
- Assess confidence in each finding
4. Synthesize
- Combine findings into a coherent answer
- Distinguish facts from opinions
- State what remains uncertain
5. Record
- Document findings with sources
- Update memory if findings are durable
- Share with relevant agents
Common pitfalls
- Accepting the first source without cross-referencing
- Confusing opinions with facts
- Not citing sources
- Going too deep (research rabbit holes)
- Not stopping when the question is answered
Exit criteria
- Question answered with evidence
- Sources cited
- Confidence level stated
- Uncertainties documented
