Legend Lore
Research any named entity exhaustively across all available sources.
What This Skill Does
Use this spell when you need everything knowable about a person, company, library, framework, concept, or system — not a quick answer, but a deep dossier.
In this grimoire, Legend Lore is treated as a metaphorical spell with a shipping-now delivery profile.
Canonical reference input: Legend Lore (spell).
When To Use
- You have a name or identifier and need comprehensive background before making a decision.
- A quick search is insufficient — you need cross-referenced depth from docs, repos, papers, and web.
- You are entering unfamiliar territory and want the full map before acting.
Prerequisites
- No extra runtime dependencies beyond Hermes Agent and the normal toolset for this session.
Procedure
- Restate the target, the success condition, and any no-touch boundaries before taking action.
- Accept the named subject and any known context or constraints on scope.
- Search exhaustively across documentation, source code, academic papers, web, and community knowledge.
- Cross-reference findings and resolve contradictions between sources.
- Return a structured dossier with sourced claims, confidence levels, and identified gaps.
- Package the result as the deliverables below, with confidence, assumptions, and unresolved risk called out explicitly.
Deliverables
- A comprehensive, sourced research dossier on the named subject.
- A confidence-rated summary distinguishing established facts from community consensus from speculation.
- A list of known unknowns and suggested next research steps.
Pitfalls / Guardrails
- Keep the metaphor anchored to a real mechanism instead of drifting into lore.
- Cite sources for all non-trivial claims. Do not present inference as established fact.
- Respect access boundaries — do not attempt to access paywalled, private, or restricted sources without authorization.
Verification
- Check that the result includes every deliverable promised above.
- Check that confirmed facts, assumptions, and inferences are visibly separated.
- Check that the metaphor still maps cleanly to a real operational mechanism.
