research

Research $ARGUMENTS using codex web search.

Prerequisites

1. Verify Codex CLI is available: command -v codex.
   • If not found, instruct user: npm install -g @openai/codex
   • Fallback: If Codex CLI is unavailable and cannot be installed, use WebSearch / WebFetch tools instead to perform the research manually.

Steps

1. If $ARGUMENTS empty, ask user for research topic.
2. Clarify scope: core question, comparison targets, aspects (architecture/performance/cost).
3. Run batch codex web searches per $SKILL_DIR/references/CODEX_COMMANDS.md.
4. Extract key facts, data, and source URLs from results.
5. Organize findings into report structure per $SKILL_DIR/references/OUTPUT_FORMAT.md.
6. Validate all links via codex or user verification.
7. Replace any broken links with correct alternatives.
8. Output final report following guidelines in $SKILL_DIR/references/GUIDELINES.md.

Rules

• Codex retrieves only; analyze and organize yourself.
• Keep only results user cares about. Trim irrelevant sections.
• All citations must include clickable source URLs.
• Prefer official docs > official blogs > third-party > benchmarks.
• No fabricated data. No performance numbers without sources.
