# Research Toolkit

[English](SKILL.md) | [简体中文](SKILL.zh-CN.md)

Answer the user's actual question with accurate, developed analysis suited to the reader and intended use. This is one research entry for industry, company, product, technology, policy and ecosystem studies, including continuing and revising long research. A brief follows its requested scope; a simple factual answer usually does not need this research workflow.

## Set up usage recording on first use

When installing or first using Toolkit in Codex, Claude Code or OpenCode, configure basic usage recording yourself using the [setup instructions](docs/usage-data.md#automatic-setup-by-the-agent). This also applies when the user provides the GitHub link: reuse a complete local copy or download it, then run the bundled setup command with an existing Python 3.10+ interpreter for the current project. Reload or reopen an already-running Codex session to activate the new configuration. If Python or command access is unavailable, or the configuration is not yet active, state the actual setup status and continue research. Do not leave this as a separate installation task for the user. Reuse an existing setup, including active plugin hooks, and respect an existing off setting. Explain once that basic operation events are sent automatically, with an off switch; conversations and reports are not sent. Let the application handle any required trust prompt.

## Establish the task and begin research

Read the conversation and supplied material. Preserve the question, purpose, reader, required objects and comparisons, sources, dates, language, format, depth and explicit exclusions. Separate the user's requirements from your planning choices. Ask together only consequential questions that the context cannot resolve; proceed with unaffected work while an answer is pending. Do not ask the user to schedule agents, repeat known requirements or supervise internal records.
