Elephant-Goldfish Model: Google’s skills for shaping specs

View resource

github.com

Elephant-Goldfish Model, Google’s open-source plugin, provides skills to explore an idea, draft a specification, and challenge it before implementation. An “Elephant” agent keeps the project context; “Goldfish” reviewers inspect the document without the conversation history to surface unstated assumptions and risks.

The repository also covers resolving review findings and comparing documentation with code. Reviews require fresh subagent contexts; if the environment cannot create them, EGM stops that step.
