# Forage

> Epistemic Foraging flywheel. Weekly tool-discovery loop that reaches OUTWARD into the live tool landscape (marketplaces, GitHub trending, web) for new plugins/MCPs/skills, scores candidates against the week's ACTUAL session friction, verifies in a throwaway worktree, files a human-approval ticket per verify-passed keeper (install is HUMAN-GATED — never automatic), and codifies the outcome. Use when the user says "forage", "/forage", "epistemic foraging", "tool discovery", "what new tools", "scan the tool landscape", or when the weekly forage cron fires.
