autopilot-research

name	autopilot-research
description	Use when a task needs a durable survey of new academic, technology, or market evidence before downstream specification or production. Not for repository-only project analysis, a simple factual lookup, or work already grounded by sufficient current evidence.

autopilot-research

This is a Codex-native Skill projection generated from the portable capability contract. It is adapter-owned output, not a legacy compatibility Skill copy.

Source

• Portable source: capabilities/autopilot-research.md
• Runtime check: adapters/codex/bin/preflight.sh capability-info autopilot-research
• Bootstrap: adapters/codex/AGENTS.md

Use

1. Before approval, route from this compact metadata and core/WORKFLOW.md §0.2; do not read the full portable source merely to propose the route.
2. Present the five-field confirmation card from core/WORKFLOW.md §0.4 unless the same route and scope are already approved.
3. After approval, direct/quick acting sessions read capabilities/autopilot-research.md; at standard+, the dispatch-depth-1 owner reads it and stage workers read only their assigned contracts.
4. Run adapters/codex/bin/preflight.sh capability-info autopilot-research and obey the reported status:
   • instruction-only: use this Skill as Codex guidance plus explicit preflight guards.
   • tool-contract: report the named tool_contract, run any tool_contract_check, and obey runtime_surface / fallback before claiming full support.
   • unsupported: stop or use the reported fallback.

Shape

• Identifier: autopilot-research
• Invocation class: entry-router
• Supported modes: academic, technology, market
• Argument shape: <query> [--mode academic|technology|market] [--depth shallow|medium|deep] [--intensity direct|quick|standard|strong|thorough|adversarial] [--no-clarify] [--no-figures] [--from search|analyze|report]
• Portable meaning: Shared upfront research that surveys academic, technology, or market sources before downstream routing.

Required Guards

• Before edits: adapters/codex/bin/preflight.sh write <file> [session-id]
• Before capability routing/spec-changing work: adapters/codex/bin/preflight.sh route autopilot-research [cwd] [session-id]
• Before spec-changing work: adapters/codex/bin/preflight.sh capability autopilot-research [cwd] [session-id]
• After actually reading a spec PRD: adapters/codex/bin/preflight.sh read <prd.md> [session-id]
• For workflow state: adapters/codex/bin/preflight.sh status [cwd] [session-id] and adapters/codex/bin/preflight.sh prompt-signal [cwd] [session-id]
