Scry Skill

Scry's canonical substrate is read-only SQL over the ExoPriors public corpus. Most agents should reach that substrate through the hosted Scry HTTP surface and Scry tools, not raw database credentials. You write Postgres SQL against a curated scry.* schema and get JSON rows back. There is no ORM, no GraphQL, no pagination token -- just SQL. When SQL is unnecessary, the portable typed-search front door is POST /v1/scry/search, and GET /v1/scry/search/records/{record_ref} hydrates record details. Use GET /v1/stats or GET /v1/scry/context for live corpus counts instead of relying on static numbers in docs.
