About
external-context is a yeachan-heo oh-my-claudecode level-4 skill that fetches external documentation, references, and technical context for a query by decomposing the topic into 2-5 facets and spawning parallel document-specialist Claude agents. Developers invoke it with /oh-my-claudecode:external-context followed by a search query or topic, such as JWT token rotation in Node.js, Prisma versus Drizzle for PostgreSQL, or latest React Server Components patterns. The skill fits advanced research moments when a single web search or manual doc reading is too narrow and multifaceted comparisons need concurrent specialist gathering. external-context returns consolidated reference material from outside the repository rather than editing local files. It complements codebase-aware skills by widening authoritative context before design or implementation choices. The skill assumes oh-my-claudecode orchestration and parallel agent spawning; it is not a lightweight inline snippet lookup.
- Decomposes topics into 2-5 parallel research facets
- Spawns specialist Claude agents for each facet simultaneously
- Handles technical comparisons like Prisma vs Drizzle ORM
- Aggregates multi-agent results into unified context

How do you gather external docs with parallel agents?
Fetches external documentation and technical context by decomposing a topic into 2-5 facets and dispatching parallel specialist Claude agents to gather comprehensive reference material.
Who is it for?
Developers using oh-my-claudecode who need multifaceted external documentation research with parallel specialist agents before design or implementation decisions.
Skip if: Simple one-page doc lookups or teams without oh-my-claudecode orchestration who only need quick inline answers from local code.
When should I use this skill?
A developer needs comprehensive external documentation on a technical topic and wants it decomposed into 2-5 facets searched by parallel agents.
What you get
Consolidated external documentation and technical reference material gathered across 2-5 topic facets from parallel specialist agents.
- Consolidated external reference summary
- Facet-organized documentation notes
By the numbers
- Decomposes each topic into 2-5 research facets
- Registered as a level-4 oh-my-claudecode skill

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 conventionsProtocol
Step 1: Facet Decomposition
Given a query, decompose into 2-5 independent search facets:
## 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:
## 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

FAQ
How do you invoke external-context?
external-context runs through oh-my-claudecode with /oh-my-claudecode:external-context followed by a topic or question. The level-4 skill decomposes the query into 2-5 facets and dispatches parallel document-specialist Claude agents.
How many facets does external-context use?
external-context decomposes each search topic into 2-5 facets before spawning parallel document-specialist agents. That structure widens external documentation coverage compared with a single-pass lookup.
