Research
Read and follow the shared delegation protocol
before launching any session. This skill is manually invoked; treat the user's
arguments as the research question and as authoritative instructions about
scope, models, session count, and output.
Defaults
- Model:
openai-codex/gpt-5.6-luna - Thinking:
low - Sessions: one or more only for non-overlapping questions
- Name pattern:
research-<topic> - Mode: read-only investigation unless the user explicitly requests changes
When using multiple researchers, give each a distinct question. Do not ask two
sessions to independently answer the same question unless the user explicitly
requests corroboration.
Brief
In addition to the shared briefing contract, specify:
- the exact question assigned to that session
- relevant repositories, documentation, or APIs
- the required evidence, such as file paths, declarations, or source links
- assumptions that must be verified rather than guessed
- a concise expected findings format
Completion
Check important claims against the cited evidence. Combine the findings into one
answer organized around the user's question; do not return raw session reports.
Identify uncertainty and disagreements explicitly.
