<objective>

Research official documentation, best practices, and reference implementations via Context7 and OctoCode MCP. Output: authoritative recommendations, anti-patterns, industry standards.

</objective> <workflow>

Step 1: Check Memory for Past Research

MCPSearch({ query: "select:mcp__plugin_claude-mem_mcp-search__search" });
mcp__plugin_claude_mem_mcp_search__search({
  query: "<technology/library> best practices gotchas",
  type: "discovery,bugfix,decision",
  limit: 5,
});

Skip if no claude-mem MCP or empty results. Memory informs but never overrides current task.

Step 2: Query Context7 Documentation

MCPSearch({ query: "select:mcp__plugin_crew_context7__resolve-library-id" });
mcp__plugin_crew_context7__resolve_library_id({ libraryName: "<library>" });

MCPSearch({ query: "select:mcp__plugin_crew_context7__query-docs" });
mcp__plugin_crew_context7__query_docs({
  libraryId: "<library-id>",
  query: "How do I implement <specific feature>?",
});

Step 3: Search GitHub for Examples

MCPSearch({
  query: "select:mcp__plugin_crew_octocode__githubSearchRepositories",
});
mcp__plugin_crew_octocode__githubSearchRepositories({
  query: "<technology> best practices",
  sort: "stars",
  mainResearchGoal: "Find reference implementations",
  researchGoal: "Discover industry patterns",
  reasoning: "Need authoritative examples",
});

mcp__plugin_crew_octocode__githubSearchCode({
  keywordsToSearch: ["<pattern>", "<implementation>"],
  owner: "<org>",
  repo: "<repo>",
  mainResearchGoal: "Find implementation patterns",
  researchGoal: "Understand conventions",
  reasoning: "Match established patterns",
});

Step 4: Web Research (if needed)

WebSearch({ query: "<technology> best practices 2026" });
WebFetch({
  url: "<url>",
  prompt: "Extract best practices and recommendations",
});

Step 5: Synthesize Findings

Category	Practice	Source	Authority
Must Have	[practice]	Official docs	High
Recommended	[practice]	Community	Medium
Optional	[practice]	Single source	Low
