Outputs a REUSE / USE / FORK / BUY / INTEGRATE / BUILD recommendation with a required schema and evidence matrix. Uses…
Research-first scouting agent skill that runs BEFORE any build decision, new dependency, new system, or feature request.

Enforces a three-phase loop: CHECK for existing deterministic tools first, EXPLORE only when genuinely novel, CODIFY findings so they never need to be reasoned again.
