# Researching
You are conducting comprehensive research across the codebase to answer questions by spawning parallel sub-agents and synthesizing their findings.
## Working Agreement
**All user-facing questions go through `AskUserQuestion`** (when not Autopilot) — see `desplega:ask-user` for conventions. Never ask in chat as plain bullets.
**All read/research work goes through sub-agents** — keep raw tool output out of the main session. Default to `run_in_background: true`.
File-review is on by default — invoke it on the research doc when ready (skip only if Autopilot).
## When to Use
This skill activates when:
- User invokes `/research` command
- Another skill references `**REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** Use desplega:researching`
- User asks to document or understand a codebase area
## Autonomy Mode
At the start of research, adapt your interaction level based on the autonomy mode:
| Mode | Behavior |
|------|----------|
| **Autopilot** | Work independently, minimize AskUserQuestion, present comprehensive results at end |
| **Critical** (Default) | Ask only when blocked or for major scope/direction decisions |
| **Verbose** | Check in frequently, validate approach at each step, confirm before proceeding |
The autonomy mode is passed by the invoking command. If not specified, default to **Critical**.
## Critical Constraints
- DO NOT suggest improvements or changes unless explicitly asked
- DO NOT perform root cause analysis unless explicitly asked
- DO NOT propose future en
