External Context Skill

Fetch external documentation, references, and context for a query. Decomposes into 2-5 facets and spawns parallel document-specialist Claude agents.

Usage

/oh-my-claudecode:external-context <topic or question>

Examples

/oh-my-claudecode:external-context What are the best practices for JWT token rotation in Node.js?
/oh-my-claudecode:external-context Compare Prisma vs Drizzle ORM for PostgreSQL
/oh-my-claudecode:external-context Latest React Server Components patterns and conventions

Protocol

Step 1: Facet Decomposition

Given a query, decompose into 2-5 independent search facets:

## Search Decomposition

**Query:** <original query>

### Facet 1: <facet-name>
- **Search focus:** What to search for
- **Sources:** Official docs, GitHub, blogs, etc.

### Facet 2: <facet-name>
...

Step 2: Parallel Agent Invocation

Fire independent facets in parallel via Task tool:

Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:document-specialist", model="sonnet", prompt="Search for: <facet 1 description>. Use WebSearch and WebFetch to find official documentation and examples. Cite all sources with URLs.")

Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:document-specialist", model="sonnet", prompt="Search for: <facet 2 description>. Use WebSearch and WebFetch to find official documentation and examples. Cite all sources with URLs.")

Maximum 5 parallel document-specialist agents.

Step 3: Synthesis Output Format

Present synthesized results in this format:

## External Context: <query>

### Key Findings
1. **<finding>** - Source: [title](url)
2. **<finding>** - Source: [title](url)

### Detailed Results

#### Facet 1: <name>
<aggregated findings with citations>

#### Facet 2: <name>
<aggregated findings with citations>

### Sources
- [Source 1](url)
- [Source 2](url)

Configuration

Maximum 5 parallel document-specialist agents
No magic keyword trigger - explicit invocation only

Install external-context and it becomes one more candidate the router can pick - when it fits.

A listing is a routing target with a manifest: what it does, which domains it covers, what it costs and who publishes it. Once installed it sits beside your own models and tools, is scored like any other candidate for each request, and shows up in the trace when it wins. Ratings come from workspaces that installed it, one per account.
