swain-search

Collect, normalize, and cache source materials into reusable troves that swain-design artifacts can reference.

Script invocation convention

Scripts live under this skill's scripts/ directory. Use the <SKILL_DIR> placeholder to mean the folder holding this SKILL.md. Resolve it at run time. In an installed skill, that is .claude/skills/swain-search/. In the swain repo, it is skills/swain-search/.

Run the bootstrap once per session before the media or X-thread flows:

bash "<SKILL_DIR>/scripts/bootstrap.sh"

The script checks that uv is on PATH. After the first run, a marker file at ~/.local/share/swain-search/.bootstrapped short-circuits later runs. If it exits non-zero, stop and tell the operator what is missing.
