+# skill-scout — commissioning skill extension
+# Fetches purpose-specific external skills at commission time.
+# Add this capability to the commissioning skill Step 3 (compose path)
+# whenever a builder scion is being commissioned.
+
+---
+
+## When to run skill-scout
+
+Run skill-scout before commissioning any builder scion. The sorter scion
+and commit-tracker hook do not require external skills — they are covered
+by their spore files alone. The builder scion does, because the quality
+of its output depends on the aesthetic and technical conventions of the
+build type (frontend-design, annotated-writing, etc.).
+
+---
+
+## Skill-scout decision table
+
+| Section being built    | Recommended external skill           | Source                          |
+|------------------------|--------------------------------------|---------------------------------|
+| Home page (star-map)   | frontend-design + ux-design          | anthropics/skills + wondelai    |
+| Writings               | annotated-writing                    | project skills (user-supplied)  |
+| Videos                 | frontend-design                      | anthropics/skills               |

+## Skill-scout process
+
+1. Identify the section being built from the ToBuild/{section}/ path
+2. Look up the recommended skill from the decision table above
+3. Check whether the skill is already present in commissioning-skill/fetched-skills/
+4. If absent: fetch from source
+   - For GitHub-hosted skills: clone or download the SKILL.md (and references/ if present)
+   - Save to commissioning-skill/fetched-skills/{skill-name}/
+5. Set SCION_EXTERNAL_SKILL env var to the fetched skill path before spawning builder
+6. Include fetched skill contents in the builder scion's commission package
+
+## Fetched skill cache
+
+```
+commissioning-skill/
+└── fetched-skills/
+    ├── frontend-design/
+    │   └── SKILL.md
+    ├── annotated-writing/
+    │   ├── SKILL.md
+    │   └── references/
+    └── ux-design/
+        └── SKILL.md
+```
+
+Fetched skills are cached between commission cycles. Do not re-fetch on
+every commission — check the cache first. Re-fetch only if the skill file
+is older than 7 days or if the parent explicitly requests a refresh.
+
+---
+
+## Skill-scout for Creature Playground
+
+The Creature Playground section is special: scions build there autonomously.
+The parent commissions a builder scion with the commissioning-skill itself
+bundled (recursive commissioning). The scion can then commission sub-scions
+of its own within the Playground scope. Output is for review only — nothing
+in Creature Playground is deployed to the live site without explicit parent
+review and JL's commit trigger.
+
+---
+
+## Integration point in commissioning skill
+
+Add between Step 3b (reason through decision surface) and Step 3c (write
+spore entries) for builder task class:
+
+```
+3b-scout: If task-class is builder:
+    - Identify section from ToBuild path
+    - Run skill-scout to fetch appropriate external skill
+    - Set SCION_EXTERNAL_SKILL to fetched skill path
+    - Proceed to 3c with external skill context available
+```
+
+The external skill content should be appended to the builder scion's spore
+file reference list, not embedded inline — keep the spore file itself within
+its token budget.
