SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? When you hand an AI a minimal or seemingly inaccessible source (a URL that won't load, an image, a bare name, or a text fragment) and want it turned into concrete improvements for your skill ecosystem, most workflows stop at "unavailable" or apply changes blindly. This Skill maximizes information extraction from any source and runs the full harvest pipeline with real machine validation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Information Maximization (acquire front-end): Graceful fallback ladder for any source type — direct fetch, search for fetchable mirrors, domain analysis, and trend validation — with an honest Source-Reality record of what was obtained versus proxied. - Thin orchestration without duplication: Delegates deep research to rlm-harness, backlog and execution to skill-ecosystem-auditor, validation to validation-mesh, and state persistence to continuation-memory. - Real machine validation: Applies approved backlog items only after re-reading full file content, snapshotting, and diffing, then verifies with skill_guard.py and audit_scan.py instead of grep. - Use Case: You paste a Telegram channel link that cannot be fetched directly and say "research this for updating my skills" — the Skill falls back through search and domain analysis, maps real trends against your ecosystem, and applies only validated, non-duplicate improvements. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to research this source for updating your skills, then paste any URL, image, name, or text fragment you want harvested.

Frequently Asked Questions about source-research-harvest

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research a source that cannot be accessed directly?▼

The Skill walks a fallback ladder: it searches for fetchable mirrors of the URL, extracts visible seeds from images, resolves names via search, and finally analyzes the source's domain with real current trend data. It records an honest Source-Reality of what was obtained versus proxied and never fabricates data.

How to turn web research into updates for an AI skill ecosystem?▼

Provide the source with a harvest intent such as "research this for updating my skills." The pipeline cross-analyzes findings against the existing ecosystem, builds a backlog of genuine gaps, and applies approved items only after re-reading full file content, diffing, and running machine validators.

When should I not use source-research-harvest?▼

Do not use it for plain web searches or simple Q&A without an ecosystem-update intent, for editing a known skill without an external source, for internal audits without a source, or for recovering lost work from chat history. Those cases route to web_search, direct skill editing, or audit and recovery skills.

Does the harvest pipeline validate changes automatically?▼

Yes. Every approved backlog item is applied via snapshot, diff, and merge, then verified with skill_guard.py --validate and summarized with audit_scan.py. Grep-based checks are explicitly rejected as a final validation method.

What tools does source-research-harvest require?▼

The acquire stage needs web tools (WebSearch and WebFetch), while the execution stage needs file tools and Python for the skill_guard.py and audit_scan.py validators. It works on Claude.ai, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, and Copilot.
