| name | check-discourse |
| description | Orchestrator — when the user wants to know "what do people say about X" (a provider, product, service, library, tool), pick which source-specific sub-skills to invoke and synthesize a balanced summary across them. Triggers on phrases like "what's the consensus on", "is X any good", "what are people saying about", "should I use X", "spec out a provider". |
Check Discourse (orchestrator)
TODO: Daniel will fill in detailed instructions.
Purpose
Decide which of the source-specific sub-skills in this plugin are worth running for the user's query, run them, then synthesize a single answer that distinguishes:
- recurring praise
- recurring complaints
- known failure modes / gotchas
- comparative alternatives people mention
