Research Curator - Add Resources to Research Directory
Add novel tools, repositories, and resources to ./research/ for future reference in Claude Code development.
Definition of Success
- A comprehensive research entry exists at
./research/{category}/{resource-name}.md
- The entry follows the standard format (see existing entries for reference)
./research/README.md is updated with the new entry in the appropriate table
- All information is verified from primary sources with access dates
- Freshness tracking section is complete
