This skill should be used when the user asks to "use the oracle" or "ask the oracle" for deep research, analysis, or architectural questions. The oracle excels at multi-source research combining codebase exploration and web searches, then synthesizing findings into actionable answers. Use for complex questions requiring investigation across multiple sources, architectural analysis, refactoring plans, debugging mysteries, and code reviews.
