Research-first scouting agent skill that runs BEFORE any build decision, new dependency, new system, or feature request. Search existing solutions (codebase, dependencies, packages, GitHub repos, APIs, SaaS, templates) before writing code. Output a REUSE / USE / FORK / BUY / INTEGRATE / BUILD recommendation with a required schema and evidence matrix. Uses five-component long-term business value framing. Trigger on new features, new systems, new dependencies, build-vs-buy decisions, or "build/add/we need X" requests. Do not trigger for bug fixes, small refactors, routine edits, docs, style/lint, or imports already in use.

Two-channel communication mode. INTERNAL dialogue (reasoning, planning, scratch notes, thinking) is terse and compressed; EXTERNAL output (final answers, rewritten procedures, warnings, any prose the user reads) is ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English (STE) with clear, controlled, approved words, active voice, and short sentences. Raw thinking inside, precise writing outside. Two faces: one inward (terse reasoning), one outward (polished output). Also rewrites or checks technical text for STE compliance. Use when the user says "janus", "simplified technical english", "STE", "ASD-STE100", "think in caveman speak in STE", "controlled language", "rewrite for STE", "STE check", or asks to make a procedure, manual, or warning clear for non-native or maintenance readers. Do NOT use for marketing copy or general prose unrelated to technical documentation.

Prevents agents from burning tokens rediscovering already-solved solutions. 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. Use when the user says "ephapax", "once for all", "don't repeat yourself", "check before reasoning", "don't rediscover", "tokens for discovery only", "codify this", "make this repeatable", "workflow-first", or "discovery mode". Also use when starting any task that might already have a scripted or automated solution.
