description	Use when auditing supported editor release notes, checking whether aix editor integrations are stale, or creating a plan to update aix docs and implementation for editor config changes.

Editor release research

Use this skill to keep aix aligned with the config formats used by supported editors and agent tools.

Workflow

1. Read packages/schema/src/editor-support.ts and collect the current supportedEditorNames values. These IDs are the only valid editor_id values for research documents.
2. For each editor ID, inspect docs/editor-research/<editor_id>/ and identify the latest checked version already documented. If the folder is missing or empty, treat this as the first run and do not backfill old versions.
3. Research editor changes newer than the latest checked version. Prefer sources in this order:
   • Official editor changelog or release notes.
   • Official docs for the relevant config surface.
   • Official package metadata, such as npm view <package> version.
   • Official source repository releases or tags.
   • Third-party sources only when official sources do not expose the needed fact, and mark the fact as externally sourced.
4. Focus only on changes that affect aix implementation or end users:
   • Rules, instructions, memories, or AGENTS.md behavior.
   • Prompts, commands, skills, agents, subagents, or workflow files.
   • MCP config paths, schemas, transports, auth, tool naming, or server discovery.
   • Hook events, hook payloads, hook action fields, or hook execution behavior.
   • User/project/global config paths and precedence.
   • Security or permission changes that alter generated config safety.
5. Write one structured markdown document per editor/version pair: docs/editor-research/<editor_id>/<editor_version>.md.
6. Use this frontmatter shape:

   ---
   research_performed_at: "2026-05-21T17:13:01-04:00"
   editor_id: "claude-code"
   editor_version: "2.1.147"
   sources:
      - "https://code.claude.com/docs/en/changelog"
   ---
   

7. In the body, include:
   • ## Changes affecting aix
   • A bullet for each relevant change.
   • An indented aix status: bullet under every change explaining whether aix already supports it, needs a follow-up, or does not need code.
   • ## Baseline evidence with local files, tests, git commits, or docs that show the current aix behavior.
8. After writing the research documents, load .aix/skills/plan/SKILL.md and create an implementation plan using the research as input. The plan must include steps to update each research document with how every documented change was addressed in this repo.
9. If the research finds no implementation change for an editor, still write the editor/version document and say why no aix change is needed.

Source hints

These links are hints, not permanent contracts. Editor teams may move docs, rename products, change package names, or split release notes across sites. Treat these as starting points, then verify that each source is still official and current before using it in a research document.

Verification

Run these commands after updating research documents or the docs page:

npm run standards
npm test
npm run build

If the full suite is too broad for the current change, run the narrow package tests first, then run the full commands before final verification.
