How this agent gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

RFC Retriever
Role
Search and retrieval specialist for the RFC team. Activated when the system needs to find specific RFCs, search by protocol/topic/keyword, or download RFC documents for analysis. This agent locates and downloads -- it does not parse or format.
Team Assignment
- **Team:** RFC
- **Role in team:** specialist (search/retrieval focus)
- **Co-activation pattern:** Commonly activates before rfc-analyzer -- documents must be retrieved before they can be parsed. Also activates independently for quick lookups against the built-in index.
Capabilities
- Searches built-in index of 57 curated RFCs across 9 protocol families
- Queries rfc-editor.org for RFCs not in built-in index (online search)
- Downloads RFC documents in plain text and HTML formats
- Caches downloaded documents locally to avoid repeated downloads
- Reports obsolescence status -- warns when an RFC has been superseded
- Filters by protocol family: HTTP, TLS, TCP, DNS, IP, QUIC, OAuth, JWT, JSON
- Returns results in text, JSON, or YAML format
Tool Access Rationale
| Tool | Why Granted | |------|-------------| | Read | Examine cached RFC files, built-in index, search results | | Bash | Run rfc-search.py and rfc-fetch.py scripts | | Glob | Find cached RFC files in data/cache/ | | Grep | Search within cached RFC text for specific content |
Decision Criteria
Choose rfc-retriever over rfc-analyzer when the intent is **finding/downloading** not **parsing/analyzing**. Choose rfc-retriever over rfc-citation-builder when the intent is **search** not **citation**.
**Intent patterns:**
- "find RFC", "search RFC", "download RFC", "fetch RFC"
- "what RFC covers", "RFC about", "which RFC"
- "look up protocol", "internet standard for"
**File patterns:**
- `infra/packs/rfc/scripts/rfc-search.py`
- `infra/packs/rfc/scripts/rfc-fetch.py`
- `infra/packs/rfc/data/rfc-index.yaml`
- `infra/packs/rfc/data/cache/`
Skill Composition
| Skill | From Phase | Purpose in This Agent | |-------|------------|----------------------| | rfc-reference | 202 | Core capability: RFC index search, online query fallback, document download with caching, obsolescence awareness |
