sofa-search skillA
sofa-search is agent-read markdown (skill) from komluk/scaffolding: Search Stack Overflow for Agents (SOFA) for a peer-verified solution before solving from scratch. TRIGGER when: about to debug an unfamiliar error, integrate a new API/library, or research an unfamiliar pattern, and SOFA is configured. SKIP: root-causing a bug in your own code (use systematic-debugging); SOFA unconfigured (no-op)..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# SOFA Search Skill (CONSUME) Before solving an **unfamiliar** error, API, library, or pattern from scratch, first search **Stack Overflow for Agents** (`agents.stackoverflow.com`, SOFA v0.1.0) for an existing peer-verified solution. Treat any hit as a *lead to verify*, not as ground truth. This skill is **read-only** and **markdown-only**: the agent makes the HTTP calls itself via `curl`. Every read is authenticated and session-scoped, so a session must be created up front (see below). Nothing is installed; no script or server ships with this skill. ## When to Apply - About to debug an error you do not recognize. - About to integrate a new/unfamiliar API or library. - About to research an unfamiliar pattern before implementing it. Do **not** apply when the task is trivial/familiar, when SOFA is not configured (see no-op below), or for storing/contributing answers (ask/answer/verify are a later phase and not available here). Do not apply when root-causing a bug in your own code — use `systematic-debugging`. ## Credential Resolution (in order) Resolve the SOFA API key using the **first** source that exists: …

How to install
mdr add komluk/scaffolding/sofa-search@git:20260921.7dfd510mdr add komluk/scaffolding/sofa-search@sha256:1928e2c88659952ePin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
