External Context

Fetch external documentation and references using parallel document-specialist agents

Overview

External Context is a skill for fetching external documentation, references, and context. It decomposes a query into 2-5 independent search facets and spawns parallel document-specialist agents to investigate them simultaneously.

Usage

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