Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned autumnsgrove/groveengine at edebdc71a7.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The Gathering Architecture skill assists in designing, refactoring, or analyzing architectural systems by orchestrating a sequence of specialized sub-agents. It doesn't directly design or build; instead, it manages a process involving an Eagle (for initial design), Crow (for challenge/critique), Swan (for detailed specification), and Elephant (for foundational building). Each agent operates with isolated context and a specific model to ensure focused contributions.

When to use it

This skill is useful in the following situations:

  • Designing new systems or services
  • Making major architectural decisions
  • Refactoring core infrastructure
  • Creating platforms for other features to build upon
  • When a structured sequence of vision, challenge, specification, and implementation is required.

Key capabilities

  • Orchestrates sub-agents: Manages the workflow of distinct agents (Eagle, Crow, Swan, Elephant).
  • Isolated Context: Each agent operates with its own isolated context to avoid bias and ensure focused contributions.
  • Specialized Models: Utilizes specific models ("opus" and "sonnet") for each agent's role.
  • System Specification Clarification: Facilitates clarifying the problem, scale requirements, constraints, and growth trajectory of a system.
  • Infrastructure Abstraction Guidance: Promotes using GroveDatabase, GroveStorage, GroveKV, GroveServiceBus (from Server SDK) and Amber SDK for portability and user file management.

Example prompts

  • "Gather Architecture: I need to design a new data processing pipeline. The problem is X, scale requirements are Y, and constraints include Z."
  • "Gather Architecture: Let's analyze the architecture of our existing payment system. What nature metaphor best describes it?"
  • “Gather Architecture: Refactor the core authentication infrastructure.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Not a Designer: This skill acts as a conductor, not a direct designer or builder. It manages a process rather than producing architectural solutions itself.
  • Mandatory Skill File Reading: The Eagle agent requires access to its own skill file (eagle-architect/SKILL.md) for proper execution.
  • Handoff Formats: Refer to references/conductor-dispatch.md for precise subagent prompts and handoff formats.
