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).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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@sha256:f6b74bda8897b988The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.ba49682, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
