Overview

This skill is for requests where the agent must compare approaches, gather external references, and explain design tradeoffs clearly.

Instructions

  1. Gather 2-5 primary sources with fetch_url.
  2. Extract specific claims about memory ownership, context management, deployment, and lock-in risk.
  3. Separate source-backed claims from your own synthesis.
  4. Write long findings to /docs/.
  5. If the result should be machine-readable, call save_brief and store the brief in /docs/briefs/.

Output Shape

  • Start with the core decision.
  • Then explain tradeoffs.
  • Then describe what should be owned by the company versus delegated to a model or vendor.
