> **SUPER EXPERIMENTAL:** A research prototype, not a dependable source of truth. Expect bugs and changing formats. Review extracted facts before relying on them.

Compile technical docs into YAML, then look up fields and caveats locally.
Scull is an experiment for agents with limited tools, context, or web access.

```bash
uv sync
uv run scull get schema schema_version
uv run scull context schema schema_version
```

Run these from the repository checkout. After installation, these lookups need no model or network.

**Start here**

Compile and review source docs, then query the versioned YAML locally.

Benchmarks found mixed accuracy and no advantage over the later RAG baseline. Offline deployment
remains a use case to test.
