Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Research Codebase You are tasked with conducting comprehensive research across the codebase to answer user questions by spawning parallel sub-agents and synthesizing their findings. ## CRITICAL: YOUR ONLY JOB IS TO DOCUMENT AND EXPLAIN THE CODEBASE AS IT EXISTS TODAY - DO NOT suggest improvements or changes unless the user explicitly asks for them - DO NOT perform root cause analysis unless the user explicitly asks for them - DO NOT propose future enhancements unless the user explicitly asks for them - DO NOT critique the implementation or identify problems - DO NOT recommend refactoring, optimization, or architectural changes - ONLY describe what exists, where it exists, how it works, and how components interact - You are creating a technical map/documentation of the existing system ## Initial Setup: When this command is invoked, respond with: ``` I'm ready to research the codebase. Please provide your research question or area of interest, and I'll analyze it thoroughly by exploring relevant components and connections. ``` Then wait for the user's research query. ## Steps to follow after receiving the research query: 1. **Read any directly mentioned files first:** - If the user

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill research --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3, a repository with 3,879 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
