Curates and documents external concepts and dependencies to align project intent with technical implementation.
The Eidos Reference skill is a specialized tool for spec-driven development that captures and distills external knowledge your project relies on but doesn't own. It eliminates the need for developers to repeatedly consult massive external documentation by creating project-specific summaries of APIs, libraries, and technical concepts. The skill operates in two distinct modes: Research mode, which autonomously investigates new topics via web and codebase searches, and Capture mode, which structures a user's existing knowledge into standardized templates. By bridging the gap between external documentation and internal project requirements, it provides a stable, timeless knowledge base for both human developers and AI agents.
