description	Parallel external documentation lookup. Spawn multiple @scroll-docs agents simultaneously to fetch SDK refs, API docs, and framework guides for different topics in one pass.

Dev External Context

Derived from oh-my-claudecode (MIT, Yeachan Heo). Adapted for the EvoNexus Engineering Layer.

Parallel external research. When a task needs multiple unrelated external lookups (SDK A + Framework B + Standard C), spawn @scroll-docs instances in parallel instead of serial.

Use When

• Task requires 3+ external doc lookups on different topics
• Time-sensitive research where serial lookups would be slow
• Cross-referencing multiple SDKs / frameworks for the same problem

Do Not Use When

• Single lookup → use @scroll-docs directly
• Internal codebase questions → use @scout-explorer instead
• The lookups are dependent (B needs A's result first) → run serial

Workflow

1. Decompose the research need into 2+ independent topics
2. Spawn @scroll-docs agents in parallel — one per topic
3. Collect the briefs as they return
4. Synthesize into a single research summary
5. Save to workspace/development/research/[C]external-context-{topic}-{date}.md

Output Format

## External Context — {topic}

### Lookup 1: {topic A}
[from @scroll-docs]

### Lookup 2: {topic B}
[from @scroll-docs]

### Lookup 3: {topic C}
[from @scroll-docs]

## Synthesis
[Combined understanding]

## Conflicts
[Where sources disagree]

## Recommendation
[Next step based on combined research]

Pairs With

• @scroll-docs (parallel workers)
• @compass-planner (consumer of synthesized research)
• @apex-architect (consumer for architecture decisions)
