Pull external references (URLs or topics provided by the user) from the web, summarize each with a defined freshness format, and append them to projects/ /REFERENCES.md so all current and future tasks under that project can consume them as grounded external context. Deduplicates by URL. Use when the user wants to research and persist project-level references (stack docs, API contracts, regulations, competitor pages), supplies URLs to summarize with freshness metadata, surfaces an external reference that should outlive the task, or wants to seed REFERENCES.md for a freshly bootstrapped project. Do not use when the project folder does not exist yet (run project-bootstrap first), the reference is internal to a single task, the input is a codebase observation (use capture-observation), or the input is a decision or policy choice (use decision-interview or direction-adjust).
