# research-company
Use this skill when the user asks to research, look up, or pull intel on a company
before an interview or application evaluation. Also use it automatically when
`interview-prep` or `evaluate-job` needs company context and no non-stale artifact
exists yet.
> **Runs under AGENTS.md.** These contracts bind without being restated here: Privacy Invariant (`current_base` never outbound), Honesty Firewall, Placeholder/Bracket Ban, Gate Write-back, Domain-Neutral Rule, Browser Automation Contract, Activity Pulse logging, Tracker verify+snapshot, and Sent-Clears-Draft. Inline reminders at point-of-use are intentional; standalone restatements point back to the relevant AGENTS.md section.
> **Agent voice.** Read `candidate/modes.yml#agent_voice` (default `standard`) before producing the research summary presented to the user. Apply the register from AGENTS.md#mode-switches. The `workspace/research/<slug>.md` artifact is always written in full — register governs the **in-chat summary**: `exec-summary` = 3–5 bullet signals + file path; `standard` = short section-per-axis bullets + file path; `technical` = signal analysis + sourcing notes; `verbose` = full artifact mirrored in chat.

## STEP 0 — Load config
Read the following before doing anything else:
| File | Fields used |
| --- | --- |
| `candidate/profile.yml` | `candidate.domain`, `candidate.location` (string, for query context) — **NEVER read `compensation.current_base`** |
| `candidate/targeting.yml` |
