# Research (vaultspec-research) Produces a Research record: the evidence a later ADR decides on. Enter it when the vaultspec decision test warrants an ADR and the options are not already weighed in the vault or the code. A question this session can answer without new evidence is answered in the conversation. Reuse sufficient existing Research, Reference, or Audit evidence before creating more. This skill terminates within one run. ## Steps - Ground per the `vaultspec-discovery` rule, decisions first: prior ADRs and research on the feature, read whole. Link what already exists; do not restate it. - Scaffold: `vaultspec-core vault add research --feature {feature}` (or the `create` tool). Read `.vaultspec/templates/research.md`; its hint blocks fix the body shape: answer-first lead, claim-first `## Findings`, closing `## Sources`. - Research in this run, or dispatch the `vaultspec-adr-researcher` persona (and `vaultspec-researcher` for parallel threads) with "Conduct research on `{topic}`", and transfer the returned findings into the body without diluting their locators. - When the decision needs grounding in real code, branch to `vaultspec-code-research` for a Reference record and link it in `related:`. - Fill every section this session; never leave or present an unfilled record. - Verify with `vaultspec-core vault check all`. ## Quality gate Judged by decision value per token; later phases re-read this record. - **Answer-first.** The lead states question, sta
