Study Repos First

Agent skill
1 skill

The Lossless Group's discipline of pinning a curated collection of upstream repos (a "study") around a domain question before designing or coding in that domain. Use when starting work that touches conventions, file formats, schemas, protocols, or any decision where prior art exists; when the user mentions "study", "studies/", "reference collection", "prior art", "pin a submodule", or names of existing studies (open-specs-and-standards, memory-layers-for-agents, data-analytics-specifications-and-standards); when scaffolding a new study, extending one, or deciding whether something belongs in a study vs. a project. Encodes the "read upstream code, don't paraphrase from training data" behavior.
