# Code research skill (vaultspec-code-research)
Use this skill:
- When auditing, researching, or implementing a specific technical implementation.
- When you need to identify a reference project.
- When you need source references that show how another project implements a feature.
- To avoid missing implementation details.
- To ground and de-risk complex coding tasks with actual code.
Invoke when the `vaultspec-research` -> `vaultspec-adr` -> `vaultspec-write` flow
explicitly requires direct code referencing.
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the `vaultspec-code-research` skill to find out how
`{Reference}` implements `{Feature}`."
## Required steps
- **Ground in existing intent first.** Lead the code deep dive with semantic search:
`vaultspec-rag search "<intent>" --type code` locates the semantically matching
implementation sites - read the epicenter or nearest analogue in full, then confirm
exact symbols with a targeted grep, which is sharper at exact-symbol lookup. Retrieve
the governing decisions with
`vaultspec-rag search "<intent>" --type vault --doc-type adr` (the directed ADR
filter, sharper than catch-all `--type vault`) to anchor the audit. Where
`vaultspec-rag` is not installed, the `vaultspec-core` discovery verbs and grep carry
the same sequence.
- **Read and use the template** at `.vaultspec/templates/reference.md`; its embedded
hint blocks govern the body structure.
- **Load the `vaultspec-reference-auditor` agent persona** for the fo
