forage-resources SKILL.md skillA
forage-resources 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-resources@v1.0Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Apply ant colony optimization and foraging theory to resource search, exploration-exploitation tradeoffs, and distributed discovery. Covers scout deployment, trail reinforcement, diminishing returns detection, and adaptive foraging strategy selection. Use when searching a large solution space where brute-force enumeration is impractical, balancing investment between exploring new approaches and deepening known good ones, optimizing resource allocation across uncertain opportunities, or…
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 Resources Apply foraging theory and ant colony optimization to systematically search for, evaluate, and exploit distributed resources — balancing exploration of unknown territory with exploitation of known yields. ## When to Use - Searching a large solution space where brute-force enumeration is impractical - Balancing investment between exploring new approaches and deepening known good ones - Optimizing resource allocation across multiple uncertain opportunities - Designing search strategies for distributed teams or automated agents - Diagnosing premature convergence (stuck on local optima) or perpetual wandering (never committing) - Complementing `coordinate-swarm` with specific resource-discovery patterns ## Inputs - **Required**: Description of the resource being sought (information, compute, talent, solutions, opportunities) - **Required**: Description of the search space (size, structure, known features) - **Optional**: Current search strategy and its failure mode - **Optional**: Number of available scouts/searchers - **Optional**: Cost of exploration vs. cost of exploitation failure …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/forage-resources@sha256:e2305ceb73b1181fThe 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.
