Apply Agent Research

This skill is the consumer side of decentralized pull: a repo reads the agent-research knowledge base as one read-only input and proposes an agent-meta improvement to itself. It is general — it never knows whose knowledge it reads or whose repo it improves.

It proposes; it never applies. The only mutation it may make is filing issues. No edits, no commits, no PRs. The producer/decider split (ADR 0003) is what makes unattended operation safe.

The ≤1-per-run cap and leak guard are enforced by code, not prompt discipline. They ship with this skill under lib/ and travel wherever the skill is installed. The mechanical details — dedup keys, the gate, the leak guard, and the filing path — are in proposal-flow.md.
