> **Codex:** this skill is the `/research` adapter. Use Codex role agents from `.codex/agents/` when the runtime exposes them; otherwise perform the work directly and keep the same structured output.
> Codex does not substitute `$ARGUMENTS` — read it as the arguments given in the user's request.
Conduct thorough research on: $ARGUMENTS
**Always delegate to role agent(s)** — web search results are bulky and should not fill the main context window.
## Approach
Break the question into distinct facets and spawn parallel researcher role agents — one per facet — to investigate simultaneously. Each researcher searches independently in its own context and returns only structured findings. Synthesize their results in the main window.
For questions with both a technical and business dimension, run those as separate parallel tracks.
If codebase exploration is also needed, spawn explorer role agents in parallel with the researchers.
## Per-researcher instructions
Each researcher role agent should:
- Use multiple search queries to triangulate
- Cross-reference sources for accuracy
- Distinguish official docs from community advice from opinion
- Include source URLs for key claims
## Output
Synthesize all role agent findings into:
1. **Summary**: Direct answer to the research question (2-3 sentences)
2. **Key findings**: Organized by facet, with
