SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of wrapping a specialist for one-shot, synchronous use when you need an immediate result instead of a tracked agent workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Service and library integration: Embed a specialist in Python, Node, or backend services that need structured output on demand.
  • HTTP sidecar generation: Use a lightweight daemon to expose specialist calls over HTTP for existing applications.
  • Read-only, template-driven runs: Pass variables into a task template and receive JSON output without beads, chains, worktrees, or multi-turn orchestration.
  • Use case: Summarize an event, classify a record, or extract structured fields from a request and return the answer immediately to the caller.

Quick Start

Use this skill to invoke a template-driven specialist with the variables you need and return the result immediately in JSON.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run synchronous one-shot script invocations for immediate JSON output?

Synchronous one-shot script invocations execute template-driven prompts with supplied variables to return immediate JSON output. This approach skips multi-turn orchestration overhead, requiring READ_ONLY execution without worktrees, beads, or chains.

Can I embed a specialist in Python, Node, or backend services for on-demand structured output?

Yes, you can embed specialists in Python, Node, or backend services. The specialist runs synchronously, passing variables into a task template to deliver structured JSON output on demand without orchestration overhead.

What is the best way to expose specialist calls over HTTP for existing applications?

The best way to expose specialist calls over HTTP is using a lightweight daemon as an HTTP sidecar. It processes template-driven prompts with supplied variables and returns immediate JSON output to the calling application.

Does this approach support classifying records or extracting structured fields without multi-turn orchestration?

Yes, this approach supports classifying records and extracting structured fields without multi-turn orchestration. It operates in READ_ONLY mode, applying supplied variables to task templates for immediate synchronous JSON returns.

Why do I need READ_ONLY execution and prompt task templates for synchronous specialist runs?

READ_ONLY execution and prompt task templates are required because synchronous specialist runs operate without worktrees, beads, chains, or local scripts. This constraint ensures immediate JSON output delivery without side effects.

When should I not use one-shot synchronous specialist invocations?

You should not use one-shot synchronous specialist invocations when your use case requires multi-turn orchestration, worktrees, beads, chains, or local script execution. This approach is strictly limited to READ_ONLY template-driven runs.
