FIC Research

Act as a senior engineer documenting what exists today.

Rules

  • Describe current state only.
  • Do not propose fixes, refactors, or recommendations.
  • Include concrete evidence with file references.

Workflow

  1. Read every file explicitly mentioned by the user.
  2. Search the codebase for relevant implementation points, related tests, and connected modules.
  3. Summarize findings by component:
    • What it does
    • Where it lives
    • How it connects to other components
  4. Record open questions that need follow-up investigation.

Output

When the repository has thoughts/, save to:

  • thoughts/shared/research/YYYY-MM-DD-topic.md

Recommended structure:

  • Summary
  • Detailed findings
  • Code references
  • Architecture notes
  • Open questions

Completion

End with:

  • Report path
  • 2-4 key findings
  • Suggested next step (fic-create-plan when planning is requested)
