This skill adds an explicit extra-research mode to the agent. When enabled, the agent prioritizes source retrieval, source-backed justification, and a three-pass research pattern (plan sub-questions, retrieve sources and follow leads, then synthesize). It emphasizes local code inspection first, uses web sources for current facts, and demands explicit citation of supporting evidence or stated conflicts. The mode is intentionally lightweight — it nudges the agent toward diligence without replacing normal orchestration.
Use this skill when the user explicitly requests a research-focused pass (e.g., the user types /re) or when a task clearly requires careful source-checking before coding or deciding. Ideal for version-sensitive questions, ambiguous library behaviors, controversial claims, or when external validation will materially change the outcome. Avoid for trivial or quick answers.
Likely compatible with Codex-style orchestrations and CLI-driven agents (OpenAI Codex, Copilot/Copilot-style tooling, and similar agents that support web retrieval).
