同じ手筋・いつもの skill ばかりで進む作業に、文脈を持たない検索者（prompt-forager agent）が外部の創造技法カタログ・プロンプト集から異角度プロンプトを取ってきて注入する多様性注入 skill。ブレインストーミングしたい、いつもと違う角度のアイデアが欲しい、発想がマンネリ・局所解に嵌っている、同じようなアプローチばかり出てくる、と感じたとき、または /prompt-perturb <目的の一行> で使う。正解・最適解の探索には使わない（それは search-first / scout）、プロンプトの品質改善にも使わない（それは write-prompt）。

From the source SKILL.md

作業が局所解に嵌るのは、生成もレビューも同じ文脈分布から出てくるからである。この skill は検索者を文脈から遮断することで分布の外からプロンプトを引く。 repo の中から「目的に合うプロンプト」を探すと類似度選択でいつもの手筋が再生産される — だから検索者には目的の一行だけを渡す。遮断が甘いほど効果が消える。
