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 ...

The user expresses a desire to "distill the physical body" and replace the "head" (intelligence/personality) with advanced LLMs like Opus or Grok, implying dissatisfaction with the current AI's cognitive capabilities or a desire for a different kind of simulation. This is a feature request for modularity and advanced AI integration.

The product aims to "distill an ex-partner into an AI Skill." This user's comment suggests a desire to separate the "essence" (personality/communication style) from the underlying intelligence, or to upgrade the intelligence with state-of-the-art models.

This issue reveals a user's advanced and somewhat provocative demand for modularity and superior AI integration within the `ex-skill` product. The user's desire to "distill the physical body" and replace the "head" with advanced LLMs like Opus or Grok indicates a perceived limitation in the curre...
