# Due Diligence
This skill is the Codex-native replacement for the Claude `due-diligence` workflow.
## Use This Skill When
- the user wants to compare approaches or technologies
- the user wants architectural validation
- the user wants external evidence before committing
- the user wants risks, tradeoffs, and compatibility assessed
## Do Not Use This Skill When
- the decision is already made and implementation should begin
- the task is purely internal codebase research with no external validation
- the question is trivial and does not justify research
## Objective
Combine codebase context with external research to recommend a path grounded in evidence.
## Workflow
1. Analyze current repo constraints and existing patterns.
2. Identify the decision candidates and evaluation criteria.
3. Research external evidence:
- primary docs
- benchmarks
- production case studies
- known pitfalls
4. Compare options explicitly.
5. Recommend a path and explain why.
## Evaluation Dimensions
- performance
- scalability
- compatibility with the current codebase
- migration complexity
- maintainability
- operational risk
## Output Structure
- codebase context
- external findings
- option comparison
- recommendation
- caveats
- fallback option
## Notes
- Prefer recent, primary, and directly relevant sources.
- When browsing is required, cite sources clearly.
- Be explicit when evidence is mixed or incomplete.
