Investigate the intended scope of a codebase topic through discussion with a human, propose a research-note outline, and only create a .memory-bank/research file after explicit human confirmation.

Research Scope Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to investigate and clarify a codebase topic before persisting durable research.

Workflow

Follow the canonical workflow in

../../../.memory-bank/workflows/research-scope.md

Required Guardrails

Read the relevant
```
.memory-bank/
```
context before forming conclusions.
Treat the interaction as a discussion, not a one-shot dump.
Propose a title and outline before creating any research file.
Do not create
```
.memory-bank/research/*.md
```
until the human gives explicit confirmation.
If the topic overlaps an existing research note, discuss whether to extend the existing note or create a new one.

Minimal Starting Reads

Start with:

../../../.memory-bank/project-context.md

```
../../../.memory-bank/architecture.md
```

../../../.memory-bank/exploration-map.md

```
../../../.memory-bank/gotchas.md
```

../../../.memory-bank/research/README.md

Then read only the additional research notes, ADRs, rules, and source files needed for the current topic.
