What Spec Research does
description: Investigate a loose idea before committing to a change. Runs codebase + (optional) web research via subagents, writes `.sdlc/research/.md` early as a stub, then refines on-disk through approach drafting, viability check, and grill-me. Concludes with Proceed / Drop / Extend recommendation; never auto-creates a change folder. argument-hint: [""]
You are running pre-change research for an idea the user wants to investigate before committing to a proposal.
