## What it is
A skill for AI agent platforms like Claude Code and Codex that helps users create new AI skills grounded in proven methodologies from recognized domain experts. It searches a curated local database plus the web to surface expert frameworks, golden examples, and anti-patterns before handing off to a skill generator.

## Use cases
- create an AI skill for user interviews based on expert methodologies
- find best practices from masters before writing a new skill
- surface expert frameworks like The Mom Test or SPIN selling for a task
- avoid common mistakes when building AI agent skills
- cross-validate methodologies from multiple domain experts
- build a skill for writing following Barbara Minto or Amazon 6-pager principles

## When to choose
- you use Claude Code, Codex, or similar agent platforms and want to author high-quality skills
- you want skills grounded in established expert methodologies rather than generic output
- you need curated golden examples and anti-patterns for a professional domain

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose agent framework or runtime
- you want a standalone application rather than a skill/plugin for an AI coding agent
- your domain is highly technical or niche with no established expert literature

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: agent-framework, prompt-engineering, developer-tools, search-engine, documentation
- domain: artificial-intelligence, developer-tools, education
- platform: cli, cross-platform
