Invoke parallel document-specialist agents for external web searches and documentation lookup
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

No magic keyword trigger - explicit invocation only
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

External Context Skill
Fetch external documentation, references, and context for a query. Decomposes into 2-5 facets and spawns parallel document-specialist agents.
Usage
/copilot-omni:external-context <topic or question>Examples
/copilot-omni:external-context What are the best practices for JWT token rotation in Node.js?
/copilot-omni:external-context Compare Prisma vs Drizzle ORM for PostgreSQL
/copilot-omni:external-context Latest React Server Components patterns and conventionsProtocol
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 subagent shell invocations:
python3 scripts/subagent.py document-specialist "Search for: <facet 1 description>. Use WebSearch and WebFetch to find official documentation and examples. Cite all sources with URLs." &
python3 scripts/subagent.py document-specialist "Search for: <facet 2 description>. Use WebSearch and WebFetch to find official documentation and examples. Cite all sources with URLs." &
waitMaximum 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

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
