Use when the user wants to add support for a new resource type to an existing formae plugin
Use when the user wants to check for infrastructure drift, see what changed out-of-band, or absorb/overwrite out-of-band changes into their IaC codebase
Use when the user wants to bring unmanaged/discovered resources under formae management, import resources into their IaC codebase, or absorb cloud resources into existing forma files
Use when the user wants to rename a managed resource, relabel a resource, change a resource's label, or give a discovery-named resource a readable name — a rename on its own never destroys or recreates the cloud object
Use when the user wants to deploy infrastructure, apply a forma file, reconcile a stack, update a stack, or make planned infrastructure changes
Use when the user wants to start authoring formae infrastructure or deploy something NEW with formae — e.g. 'I want to deploy X with formae', 'build a k8s app with formae', 'set up infrastructure for Y', 'create a new forma file for my service', 'write formae IaC for Z'. The front door that triages where the work happens, sets up plugin schema deps, and dispatches to focused authoring skills. NOT for applying an existing forma file (use formae-apply) or operating existing infra.

Find resources in cloud accounts that aren't managed by formae yet.
get_agent_stats first to get an overview of unmanaged resource counts by providerlist_resources queries with specific type filters to drill down (e.g., managed:false type:AWS::S3::Bucket). Never call list_resources with just managed:false — on real accounts this returns too much data and will overflow the context window.formae-import skill to start the import workflowIf the user wants the latest view, call force_discover to trigger an immediate discovery scan before querying. Note that discovery runs asynchronously — wait a moment before querying results.
