Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Investigate, compare, or propose options by following the canonical spec in docs/skills/research-propose-structured.md. Use when Codex should produce a structured conclusion without implementing code changes.

Key capabilities

  • Investigate options
  • Compare options
  • Propose options
  • Produce a structured conclusion
  • Follow a canonical specification

How it works

This skill acts as a thin adapter that directs the agent to follow the detailed behavior, rules, procedure, and output format defined in an external documentation file.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
A request to investigate, compare, or propose options
You get back
A structured conclusion based on the canonical specification

When to use research-propose-structured

  • Comparing technical options
  • Proposing architectural approaches
  • Conducting structured research

About this skill

research-propose-structured

This file is a thin Codex adapter.

The canonical source of truth for this skill is docs/skills/research-propose-structured.md.

Follow the behavior, rules, procedure, and output format defined in that document.

When using this skill, read the canonical doc first and work according to it.

Do not duplicate or redefine the detailed specification here. Update the docs file only when the skill behavior changes.

When not to use it

  • When the user expects direct code changes
  • When the user needs to implement code
  • When the user wants to ignore the canonical specification

Limitations

  • The skill does not implement code changes
  • It relies entirely on an external canonical specification for its behavior
  • The skill's output is a structured conclusion, not an executable solution

How it compares

This skill enforces a structured, documented research and proposal process, unlike an unstructured approach that might lack consistency or specific output formats.
