What problem does it solve?
This Skill identifies up-to-date, non-obvious domain knowledge, failure modes, and existing skill patterns that a general LLM might miss so that new or improved agent skills are accurate, evidence-backed, and safe to adopt.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Parallel multi-source search: queries academic papers, practitioner blogs, and GitHub skill repos in parallel to surface high-signal findings.
- Security-gated ingestion: mandates invoking local secure-* scanners before consuming external SKILL.md content and filters/blocklists unsafe sources.
- Structured reporting & taxonomy: classifies findings into GOTCHA, WORKFLOW, FAILURE_MODE, EXISTING_PATTERN, or BACKGROUND and emits a findings report consumable by skill-creation or improvement pipelines.
- Use Case: invoked by universal-skill-creator or improve-skills to research a domain before authoring or revising a skill, or called directly to discover best practices for a topic.
Quick Start
Research the domain sprint-retrospective and deliver a structured findings report listing sources, gotchas, workflow patterns, failure modes, and existing skills.
