Dev External Context

SkillDocs & knowledge

Parallel external documentation lookup. Spawn multiple @scroll-docs agents simultaneously to fetch SDK refs, API docs, and framework guides for different topics in one pass.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Dev External Context skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by evolution-foundation/evo-nexus in .claude/skills/dev-external-context/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Derived from oh-my-claudecode (MIT, Yeachan Heo). Adapted for the EvoNexus Engineering Layer.

Parallel external research. When a task needs multiple unrelated external lookups (SDK A + Framework B + Standard C), spawn @scroll-docs instances in parallel instead of serial.

Use When

  • Task requires 3+ external doc lookups on different topics
  • Time-sensitive research where serial lookups would be slow
  • Cross-referencing multiple SDKs / frameworks for the same problem

Do Not Use When

  • Single lookup → use @scroll-docs directly
  • Internal codebase questions → use @scout-explorer instead
  • The lookups are dependent (B needs A's result first) → run serial

Workflow

  1. Decompose the research need into 2+ independent topics
  2. Spawn @scroll-docs agents in parallel — one per topic
  3. Collect the briefs as they return
  4. Synthesize into a single research summary
  5. Save to workspace/development/research/[C]external-context-{topic}-{date}.md

Output Format

## External Context — {topic}

### Lookup 1: {topic A}
[from @scroll-docs]

### Lookup 2: {topic B}
[from @scroll-docs]

### Lookup 3: {topic C}
[from @scroll-docs]

## Synthesis
[Combined understanding]

## Conflicts
[Where sources disagree]

## Recommendation
[Next step based on combined research]

Pairs With

  • @scroll-docs (parallel workers)
  • @compass-planner (consumer of synthesized research)
  • @apex-architect (consumer for architecture decisions)
