forage-solutions SKILL.md skillA
forage-solutions from pjt222/agent-almanac is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/forage-solutions@v1.0Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

AI solution exploration using ant colony optimization — deploying scout hypotheses, reinforcing promising approaches, detecting diminishing returns, and knowing when to abandon a strategy. Use when facing a problem with multiple plausible approaches and no clear winner, when the first approach is not working but alternatives are unclear, when debugging with no obvious root cause requiring parallel hypothesis investigation, or when previous attempts have converged prematurely on a suboptimal…
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
# Forage Solutions Explore a solution space using ant colony optimization principles — deploying independent hypotheses as scouts, reinforcing promising approaches through evidence, detecting diminishing returns, and knowing when to abandon a strategy and explore elsewhere. ## When to Use - Facing a problem with multiple plausible approaches and no clear winner - When the first approach tried is not working but alternatives are unclear - Debugging with no obvious root cause — multiple hypotheses need parallel investigation - Searching a codebase for the source of a behavior when the location is unknown - When previous solution attempts have converged prematurely on a suboptimal approach - Complementing `build-coherence` when the solution space must be explored before a decision is made ## Inputs - **Required**: Problem description or goal (what are we foraging for?) - **Required**: Current state of knowledge (what is already known?) - **Optional**: Previous approaches tried and their outcomes - **Optional**: Constraints on exploration (time budget, tool availability) - **Optional**: Urgency level (affects exploration-exploitation balance) ## Procedure …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/forage-solutions@sha256:88c5a04c5bd9c663The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
