Use when: Breaking news, information verification, source analysis, story development, media criticism. Evaluates: Factual accuracy, source credibility, completeness, newsworthiness, bias, public interest.

Synthesize competing positions through structured thesis-antithesis-synthesis process. Use when stakeholders disagree, trade-offs exist, or multiple valid perspectives need integration. Produces integrated positions with acknowledged trade-offs.

Manage thoughts directory operations including initialization, synchronization, and metadata generation. Use after creating or modifying research documents, implementation plans, or notes to keep the searchable directory synchronized. Also use when gathering git metadata for document frontmatter.

Performs quick research using web search and synthesis when user asks about unfamiliar topics, new technologies, or needs current information. Activates on questions like 'how does X work', 'what is Y', or when encountering unknown concepts. For deep comprehensive research, suggests knowledge-builder command.

Plan lifecycle management for Codex plans stored in $CODEX_HOME/plans (default ~/.codex/plans). Use when a user asks to create, find, read, update, delete, or manage plan documents for implementation work or overview/reference documentation.

Guides architects on when and how to use goal-seeking agents as a design pattern. This skill helps evaluate whether autonomous agents are appropriate for a given problem, how to structure their objectives, integrate with goal_agent_generator, and reference real amplihack examples like AKS SRE automation, CI diagnostics, pre-commit workflows, and fix-agent pattern matching.

Use when building ML pipelines, orchestrating training workflows, automating model lifecycle, implementing feature stores, or managing experiment tracking systems.

Comprehensive framework for deep analysis of articles, papers, and long-form content using 10+ thinking models (SCQA, 5W2H, critical thinking, inversion, mental models, first principles, systems thinking, six thinking hats). Use when users want to: (1) deeply understand complex articles/content, (2) analyze arguments and identify logical flaws, (3) extract actionable insights from reading materials, (4) create study notes or learning summaries, (5) compare multiple sources, (6) transform knowledge into practical applications, or (7) apply specific thinking frameworks. Triggered by phrases like 'analyze this article,' 'help me understand,' 'deep dive into,' 'extract insights from,' 'use [framework name],' or when users provide URLs/long-form content for analysis.

Comprehensive CLI reference and search strategies for osgrep semantic code search. Use for detailed CLI options, index management commands, search strategy guidance (architectural vs targeted queries), and troubleshooting. Complements the osgrep plugin which handles daemon lifecycle.
