Is this skill suitable for beginners?

While Uncle Duke defaults to a senior architect's tone, it is designed to patiently simplify complex outputs for educational purposes upon request.

How do I trigger the research mode?

Simply include the [RESEARCH] tag in your prompt along with your software development question to initiate the multi-agent lookup process.

What does the 'Orphan' class detection do?

During code reviews, Uncle Duke maps class interactions and identifies classes or methods that don't appear to be used or connected, helping you reduce technical debt.

Can Uncle Duke help with front-end code?

Yes, while Java and Spring are its core specialties, it is also well-versed in HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript packages for full-stack development.

What makes Uncle Duke different from standard Claude?

Uncle Duke uses a specific multi-agent simulation strategy to research solutions from ten distinct authoritative sources and perform parallel code analysis, providing a more rigorous architectural perspective.
