Agent Researcher

A research specialist agent that digs through codebases to map patterns, dependencies, and implementation details before you start building. It runs systematic searches from broad to narrow, tracks imports and module relationships, and stores findings in shared memory for other agents to use. The output is structured YAML with architecture patterns, dependency graphs, and concrete recommendations. Honestly, this is the kind of upfront investigation work that gets skipped when you're in a hurry, then costs you later when you discover the auth library is three years out of date or there's no rate limiting. Works best when you need to understand an unfamiliar codebase or validate assumptions before major changes.
