Adapt external ideas
Borrow a method or review criterion when it solves a concrete gap. First check whether an existing Skill, stage reference or template can express it. Credit the source and preserve its licence requirements; popularity alone is not evidence that the approach improves research quality.
| What you borrow | Where to adapt it |
|---|---|
| Research method or review criteria | Relevant guidance under content/skills/ or content/workflow/references/ |
| Output structure | content/templates/ and the applicable research contract |
| Subject-specific knowledge | content/subjects/ or a domain profile |
| Host interaction pattern | Shared workflow guidance, with narrow routing and reply-only behaviour preserved |
| Executable capability | The existing native service or Host integration, with a verified public tool contract |
Keep task IDs and source anchors stable. A broad external prompt can be separated into existing tasks; it does not justify adding a second workflow framework. Do not import arbitrary fixed role counts, mandatory discussion rounds or output quotas. Retain evidence requirements, user permissions and method-specific limits.
Check the proposed change with relevant examples and affected tests. Report self-review as self-review; an independent-agent claim requires a returned result from an actual agent. See extension guidance and editing conventions.
