Packs Reference
Section titled “Packs Reference”Packs extend the research harness with domain knowledge, output channels, and data vocabularies.
Each pack is a self-contained unit: one plugin per skill, with its own .claude-plugin/plugin.json and SKILL.md.
Ontology packs use *.ontology.yaml and ontology.pack.json instead of a skill.
For control-plane mechanics — enabling, disabling, and listing packs — see Packs and Plugins.
