# Code research (vaultspec-code-research) Produces a Reference record: how a codebase (this project, a submodule, or an external reference) implements the thing, as patterns with locators. It is an entry point alongside `vaultspec-research`; sufficient Audit evidence can also ground an ADR. This skill terminates within one run. ## Steps - Discover per the `vaultspec-discovery` rule: locate code by meaning, read the epicenter or nearest analogue whole, confirm exact symbols with grep, and list the decisions. - Scaffold: `vaultspec-core vault add reference --feature {feature}` (or the `create` tool). Read `.vaultspec/templates/reference.md`; its hint blocks fix the body shape. - Audit in this run, or dispatch the `vaultspec-reference-auditor` persona to locate and audit the `{feature}` implementation in the named codebase; it returns findings for you to persist. If the record exists already, update its body. - Verify with `vaultspec-core vault check all`. ## Quality gate - **Faithful.** Exact module and `file:line`; the reference's version or commit pinned. - **Pattern-level.** Abstractions, boundaries, and module interactions; never pasted implementation. - **Mapped.** How the pattern translates to this codebase, and where it will not fit. - **Load-bearing only.** The abstractions a re-implementation needs, not a tour. ## Next Apply the system's decision coverage test to findings that suggest a change. Routine execution uses existing scope; a new costly comm
