## DARE Research Engine Use DARE for AI Research tasks and whenever the user explicitly asks for DARE. 1. Treat `CC` and `Claude Code` in upstream DARE documents as `Codex`. 2. Resolve the DARE skill root from the first existing path: - `.dare/skills/` in a project where DARE was installed - `skills/` in the DARE source repository 3. Read `/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/SKILL.md` first. 4. Read `/research-catalog/SKILL.md` before selecting research packages. 5. Treat YAML `dependencies` in each `SKILL.md` as the authoritative call graph. 6. When a DARE document says to invoke a skill, open `//SKILL.md` and follow it as the operative workflow. 7. Load dependency skills only when needed; do not load the entire DARE skill tree. 8. Preserve runtime context in `context/INDEX.md` and its related context files. 9. Never write API keys or secrets into specs, context files, or committed configuration. The DARE skill tree is an on-demand research knowledge base, not a Codex skill-discovery directory.
