Techniques for retrieving and investigating remote codebases and their documentation. Use when user provides a GitHub/GitLab URL to look at, asks to follow conventions from a remote repo, asks "how does package/library X implement/handle Y", or references any external repository's code, structure, or patterns. Examples: "follow the conventions in https://github.com/...", "look at how repo X does Y", "check this GitHub link".

When asked to follow conventions or patterns from a remote repo, clone it, read the relevant files, then apply those patterns to the local project.
npx claudepluginhub economic/epi-skills --plugin researchDelegates repository exploration to a Claude Code CLI subprocess. Supports local paths and remote GitHub/GitLab URLs with read-only access.
Clones a GitHub repo and sets up an interactive study session for reading and analyzing the codebase. Answers questions with source-of-truth evidence from the actual code.
