The core request is to add support for `OpenAI Codex` and `opencode` as alternative backends for the `autoresearch` tool. This indicates a desire for broader LLM provider compatibility and flexibility, especially given limitations with the current `Claude` integration.

`autoresearch` is positioned as an "Autonomous goal-directed iteration for Claude Code." The requests for `OpenAI Codex` and `opencode` suggest a desire to expand its "skill" beyond a single LLM provider, aiming for a more versatile "autoresearch" capability across different code generation models. The mention of "CC limits" (Claude Code limits) implies a need for alternatives due to current provider constraints.
This issue highlights a critical demand for multi-provider flexibility within the `autoresearch` tool. Users are actively requesting support for alternative LLM backends like `OpenAI Codex` and `opencode`, driven by perceived limitations or constraints with the current `Claude` integration. This ...
