When should I use this instead of standard Claude responses?

Use this skill when you need current API specifications, library versions released after Claude's training cutoff, or specific performance benchmarks that require real-time verification.

Does this skill search my private codebase?

No, this skill is dedicated to gathering external knowledge from the internet. For local project conventions and internal code, you should use Claude Code's native codebase search tools.

How does this skill handle outdated information?

It employs a tiered evaluation system that prioritizes Tier 1 sources like official release notes and changelogs, while checking publication dates to flag potentially deprecated information.

Can it help me choose between two different npm packages?

Yes, it can perform side-by-side comparisons by searching for benchmarks, GitHub activity, community consensus, and official documentation to determine which package best fits your requirements.
