Skill audit report

ai-research Audit report.

Finds evidence from outside this repository and reports it with numbered citations, or marks a claim [unsourced] and leaves it marked. Uses only the tools the client actually has: the local floor is always on, web search / Tavily / Exa run only when the client configured them, and NotebookLM deep research runs only when `notebooklm doctor` passes — an absent tool degrades and is named, never an error. Ends with three cited directions worth taking. Trigger for "what does the state of the art say", "compare the options for", "find sources on", "is this still true", "what do the docs say about". Not for questions whose answer is in this repository — use /ai-explore. Not for diagnosing a failure — use /ai-debug. Not for deciding what to build — use /ai-plan.
