name	research-first
audience	swarm-plugin
description	Codex adapter for research-before-planning work. Use when a task depends on current external facts, unfamiliar libraries, APIs, standards, security advisories, release notes, product behavior, or repo behavior that must be verified before planning or implementation.

Research First

Read .claude/skills/research-first/SKILL.md for the source protocol.

Codex-specific execution notes:

For current or unstable external facts, browse or use primary sources and cite URLs.
For repo facts, prefer rg, file reads, tests, and local source over memory.
Separate verified facts from assumptions.
Do not plan implementation until the relevant unknowns are resolved or explicitly marked as risks.

When research affects OpenAI product usage, use the openai-docs skill and official sources only.
