Research $ARGUMENTS with current web sources — the last token is the project slug if it names a directory under `projects/`, the rest is the topic. Purpose: inspiration and grounding for the principal's intent or assignment — he does not want to reinvent what the world has already solved. One research, one question: a topic that turns out to be several questions becomes several notes, each answering one — never one combined document. 1. Search for current best practices, established frameworks, and notable recent developments. Prefer primary and high-quality sources; note publication dates. Mark epistemic status: consensus vs. emerging vs. contested. 2. Write `research/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic-slug>.md` in the project (English, immutable): question, key findings with sources, options with trade-offs, and a short "relevance to this project" section with a concrete recommendation. 3. Index and register. Add an entry to `research/00-INDEX.md` (skeleton `templates/index.md`; create the index if missing): **Question**, **Answer in short** (two or three lines), **Consult when**. Add a registration row to the Research table in `ledger.md` (file, date, derived from). 4. Summarise for the principal, leading with the recommendation and the trade-offs, not a literature review. 5. If findings suggest changes to intent or assignment, propose them explicitly — via `/forge intent` or `/forge assignment`, never silently.
