SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Reference Librarian delegates focused repository and web exploration to a dedicated agent when internal knowledge is partial, enabling faster gaps to be filled.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Invocation contract: Defines who may invoke (the Reference Librarian) and under what conditions.
  • Structured prompts: Provides fields for the exploration query, hints, knowledge mode, and report format to standardize exploration.
  • Output protocol: Specifies the required exploration report structure, including summary, confidence, evidence, and gaps.

Quick Start

Invoke the Information Explorer with a partial-confidence query to generate a structured exploration report.

Frequently Asked Questions about information-explorer

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I fill knowledge gaps when a repository query returns partial confidence?▼

Repository exploration delegates partial-confidence queries to a dedicated subagent that traces call chains, traverses files, and looks up external documents, returning a structured report with evidence and unresolved gaps.

What is a structured exploration report and what fields does it include?▼

A structured exploration report standardizes knowledge exploration output using a defined schema with fields including answer summary, confidence level, evidence, key file paths, and unresolved gaps.

How do I standardize subagent prompts for repository and web exploration?▼

Structured exploration prompts standardize subagent invocations by providing fields for the exploration query, hints, knowledge mode, and report format, ensuring consistent repository traversal and document lookup results.

When should I delegate exploration to a subagent instead of searching the repository directly?▼

Delegate exploration to a subagent when a calling agent yields partial confidence on a knowledge query and the gaps require deeper repository traversal, call-chain tracing, or external document lookup.

Can I use this exploration approach for external document lookup as well as repository traversal?▼

Focused exploration supports both repository traversal and external document lookup, allowing a calling agent to fill knowledge gaps from multiple sources using a single structured report schema.
