SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It reduces research latency by running multiple independent external documentation lookups concurrently, so you can synthesize accurate guidance without waiting for serial requests.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel external research: Spawns multiple @scroll-docs agents at once for unrelated topics (e.g., SDK refs + framework guides + standards).
  • Actionable synthesis: Collects briefs, merges them into a single summary, and highlights Conflicts where sources disagree.
  • Workspace-ready outputs: Saves results to workspace/development/research/[C]external-context-{topic}-{date}.md for downstream planning.

Quick Start

Use the dev-external-context skill to gather external references for your engineering task and produce a single synthesized research note for the selected topics.

FAQPage Schema
How do I lookup multiple SDK and API documentation in parallel?▼

You can lookup multiple SDK and API documentation in parallel by spawning one worker agent per independent topic, fetching references concurrently instead of serially, and synthesizing the collected briefs into a unified context file.

What is parallel research for engineering planning?▼

Parallel research for engineering planning is the process of decomposing a task into independent topics and running concurrent documentation lookups, enabling rapid cross-referencing of unrelated SDK, API, and framework standards for immediate implementation.

How do I synthesize external documentation briefs into one context file?▼

You synthesize external documentation briefs by collecting concurrent lookup results from multiple workers, merging them into a single summary, and highlighting conflicts where sources disagree before saving to a research workspace path.

Can I cross-reference unrelated framework and standards documentation concurrently?▼

Yes, you can cross-reference unrelated framework and standards documentation concurrently by spawning a dedicated worker for each topic, which allows simultaneous lookups and reduces research latency for engineering scenarios.

Where are synthesized external research outputs saved?▼

Synthesized external research outputs are saved as markdown files to the workspace development research directory, using a naming convention that includes the topic and date, making them ready for downstream planning.

What is the best way to handle conflicting information from multiple API docs?▼

The best way to handle conflicting information from multiple API docs is to use parallel research synthesis, which collects concurrent briefs and explicitly highlights conflicts where sources disagree within a unified context file.
