Research

Investigate a question against high-trust primary sources and return cited findings without changing the project unless explicitly requested.

File contents

Spin up a background agent to do the research, so you keep working while it reads.

Mutation boundary

Return findings in chat by default. Do not write into the repository, create branches, commit, publish, or update trackers. Write a Markdown artifact only when the user explicitly requests a file; use their stated path or the current Codex task's user-facing output directory, not the project repository, unless they explicitly choose a repository path.

Its job:

  1. Investigate the question against primary sources (official docs, source code, specs, first-party APIs), not a secondary write-up of them. Follow every claim back to the source that owns it.
  2. Return a compact cited synthesis in chat.
  3. If the user requested a file, write one Markdown artifact at the explicitly approved non-project path and report its location.
