Re-checks the code behind a research file from create-research when a reviewer challenges a claim or the question widens, then revises its findings with fresh file:line citations, comments intact. Use after review comments on research; stays descriptive.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# iterate-research

Revise one research file. The body is rewritten from fresh reading of the code; the comment block is
kept byte for byte. Layout: the create-plan skill's `references/artifact-layout.md`.

## Steps

1. **Read the research in full** and list its open comments:

   ```bash
   node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/artifact.mjs" list --file <research> --open
   ```

2. **Re-check every challenged claim in the code**, at the current commit. If the code moved since
   the artifact's `sha`, say which findings changed.
3. **New questions** get the same method as create-research: parallel `Explore` agents by area,
   citations checked by you.
4. **Write the revised body** to a scratch file (no comment block in it) and write it back:

   ```bash
   node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/artifact.mjs" iterate --file <research> --body /tmp/research-body.md
   ```

5. **Reply to each comment you addressed** (`reply`, or `resolve` when the reviewer asked or the
   comment was a factual correction you made), then answer with the path, the revision and the
   comments still open.

## Rules

- Same rules as create-research: describe, cite, no recommendations.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/iterate-research@sha256:fcd3e79216740b20

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
