Loads beads context, deep-dives the codebase, and produces a structured 'current state' summary. Triggers on phrases like "catch me up", "where are we", "orient me", "what's the state of this project", "bring me up to speed", "load context", "session orientation".
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Each Task becomes a bead (`bd create -t task --parent beads-superpowers-53x`). Steps within tasks use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax
Use when the user asks a question about a topic, requests research, or when you need to understand something before planning. Dispatches parallel research agents, synthesizes findings into a persistent document, and writes it to the project's research directory. Triggers on "research this", "what is X", "how does Y work", "compare A vs B", "investigate", "deep dive", "look into".
