Research First
SkillDocs & knowledgeCodex 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.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.
Then ask your AI: use the Research First skill
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by zaxbyhub/opencode-swarm in .agents/skills/research-first/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
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.
