What Goal Research does

Goal Research delegates a research question to Codex CLI, which scopes the task with `/goal` and uses Aitesis Tavily searches for external verification. Use it when you need cited fact-finding or to check claims against outside sources.

Goal Research is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Goal Research comes from a repository tagged ai-collaboration, claude-code, epistemology, metacognition and plugin.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Goal Research

Invoke directly with /goal-research <research question> when the user wants to delegate fact-finding or external verification to a Codex CLI session that pairs Codex's builtin goal scoping with Aitesis-driven Tavily search.

Architecture:

goal-research
├── Research question (argument or one-time prompt)
├── Codex CLI (background)
│   ├── builtin `goal` — scope the research endpoint
│   └── `$inquire` — Aitesis skill drives Tavily-based external verification
└── Trace presentation (codex output + temp-file cleanup)
