external-context

The external-context skill decomposes complex queries into two to five independent search facets, then spawns parallel document-specialist Claude agents to fetch relevant external documentation, web references, and technical context. Use this skill when you need comprehensive, sourced information about technical topics like best practices, library comparisons, or current framework patterns that benefit from multiple specialized research angles conducted simultaneously.

# 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:

```markdown
## 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:

```markdown
## 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
