RALLY Research
Use this skill before standardizing a new adapter contract, changing a benchmark, or making a cross-repo adoption decision.
Workflow
- State the research question and the decision it informs.
- Inspect local evidence first: README, specs, tests, fixtures, benchmarks, and dependency trackers.
- Check external sources only when needed for ecosystem or protocol claims.
- Record findings with IDs, citations, implications, confidence, and non-goals.
- Split recommendations into adopt now, prototype, and defer/reject.
- Run or cite validation commands for measurable claims.
Output
Write a repo-local research note under docs/research/ or another documented
research location, then update any affected tracker or dependency-system file.
