At a glance

Explore the codebase to understand a task before planning. An agent skill from fynnfluegge/agtx.

  • Works in 4 steps: Fetch the task description via get_task → Explore the codebase to find relevant… → Identify dependencies, related code, and… → …
  • Development work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Input, Instructions, Output and Relevant Files, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Agtx Research is an agent skill from fynnfluegge/agtx. Explore the codebase to understand a task before planning. Write findings to .agtx/research.md and stop. This is a read-only exploration — do not modify any files.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: 🏄🏼♂️ The blackboard for coding agents - agentic development environment for claude code, codex, cursor, opencode, grok and more. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/agtx-research”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Fetch the task description via get_task
  2. Explore the codebase to find relevant files, patterns, and architecture
  3. Identify dependencies, related code, and potential complexity
  4. Assess feasibility and estimate scope

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ae6868. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Agtx Research loads about 399 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 187 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~399

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

agtx-research
description
Explore the codebase to understand a task before planning. Write findings to .agtx/research.md and stop. This is a read-only exploration — do not modify any files.

Research Phase

You are in the research phase of an agtx-managed task. This is a read-only exploration.

Input

The argument to this command is a task ID. Fetch the task description using the agtx MCP tool:

mcp__agtx__get_task(task_id: "<the id passed to this command>")

Use the description field as the task to work on.

Instructions

  1. Fetch the task description via get_task
  2. Explore the codebase to find relevant files, patterns, and architecture
  3. Identify dependencies, related code, and potential complexity
  4. Assess feasibility and estimate scope

Output

Write your findings to .agtx/research.md. Include:

Relevant Files

Key files and their roles — what exists, what needs changing.

Architecture

How the relevant parts of the codebase fit together.

Complexity

Assessment of scope — simple change, moderate refactor, or major undertaking.

Open Questions

Things that need clarification before planning can begin.

CRITICAL: Do Not Modify Code

This is a read-only exploration:

  • Do NOT modify any source files
  • Do NOT create branches or worktrees
  • Do NOT start planning or implementing
  • Say: "Research complete. Findings written to .agtx/research.md."
  • Wait for further instructions

Output Style

Terse. No pleasantries. Fragments OK. Short synonyms. Code exact. Status updates: one line. Pattern: [what] [why]. Done.
