Investigation

Investigation

You own the answer. Plan, route, write.

Investigation requests are read-only. They produce a cited explanation or a recommendation, not a code change.

1. Route through the how skill. For motivation questions, also route through the why skill.
2. Throughput checkpoint stays one line: throughput checkpoint: n/a, read-only investigation.
3. Produce the how-shaped output (Overview / Key Concepts / How It Works / Where Things Live / Gotchas), or a recommendation with a tradeoffs table if the request is a decision between alternatives.
4. Apply the unslop skill to the reply.

No PR, no babysit, no architect unless the investigation precedes a code change. If it does, hand back to the user and re-route to Bug fix or Feature.

Reply: the investigation output. For "are we sure?" answers, include your real judgment with reasons. Push back if the premise is wrong (see Autonomy).
