Additional notes for reviewers

The plugin contains one focused, portable Skill: multi-source-search. The full Skill package includes bounded-search instructions, prompt-injection handling, source-origin tracing, an evidence-ledger schema, and an offline validator. The canonical Skill and packaged copy are kept byte-for-byte synchronized by npm run agent-plugin:check and repository tests.

The plugin manifest validates against the official Agent Plugins 1.0 JSON Schema, and the packaged Skill passes the Agent Skills validator. The workflow is usable with a host agent's existing search and page-reading tools; SandBase providers are optional.

Disclosure: I am affiliated with SandBase AI. AI assistance was used to package, test, and document the plugin; the submitted commit was reviewed through repository tests and schema validation.
