Performs a strategic environmental scan: reads world signals, recurring-goal outputs (infra health, email, audit trails), knowledge-tree frontier, portfolio health, and intrinsic motivation — then generates new aspirations from external observation rather than introspection. Use whenever the aspirations loop hits the strategic-scan cadence (every N iterations), the goal pipeline looks thin, or the orchestrator needs fresh work driven by real-world signal instead of self-generated ideas.

From the source SKILL.md

Periodically "step back and look at the world." Unlike sparks (reactive to one goal) or evolution (watching agent learning curves), this skill reads the ENVIRONMENT -- recurring goal outputs, knowledge freshness, portfolio balance, and unexplored territory -- and generates work from what it observes.

What this skill does

Aspirations Strategic Scan is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the knowledge-mgmt sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/aspirations-strategic-scan/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use whenever the aspirations loop hits the strategic-scan cadence (every N iterations), the goal pipeline looks thin, or the orchestrator needs fresh work driven by real-world signal instead of self-generated ideas.
