SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Fetch external context, documentation, and sources for a query by decomposing it into 2-5 facets and spawning parallel document-specialist Copilot agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Facet-based search: Decomposes queries into independent facets and fetches relevant docs in parallel.
  • Parallel synthesis: Aggregates findings with citations from multiple sources.
  • Use Case: Researching technology choices or API documentation to inform decisions with up-to-date references.

Quick Start

Use /oh-my-copilot:external-context <topic or question> to fetch parallel external docs and sources.

Frequently Asked Questions about external-context

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fetch external documentation and web sources for a complex research query?▼

Fetching external documentation is accomplished by decomposing a query into 2-5 facets and spawning parallel document-specialist agents to gather up-to-date sources, which are then synthesized with citations.

What is the best way to research and compare software frameworks using multiple web sources?▼

Researching technology choices is handled by decomposing the comparison into independent facets and aggregating findings from parallel document-specialist agents, delivering synthesized results with sources cited.

Can I gather API documentation in parallel for multiple different endpoints or services?▼

Yes, gathering API documentation is supported by spawning 2-5 parallel document-specialist Copilot agents to fetch references across different software frameworks and APIs simultaneously.

How do I ensure web search results for software documentation include proper sources citation?▼

Sources citation is built into the synthesis process; every output generated by the parallel document-specialist agents includes citations for each external reference fetched during the knowledge gathering task.

Does fetching external context require any specific dependencies or environment setup?▼

No specific dependencies are required to fetch external context; the process relies on spawning parallel document-specialist agents within the Copilot environment to execute the web search and synthesis workflow.

When should I use parallel agents for knowledge gathering instead of a single web search?▼

Parallel agents are ideal for knowledge gathering when a query spans multiple independent facets like software, frameworks, and APIs, requiring up-to-date references synthesized from multiple external documentation sources.
