gsd-research-phase from coco-research/coco is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add coco-research/coco/gsd-research-phase@git:20260914.e75f220Pins git:20260914.e75f220 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when you want phase research without planning: to investigate before deciding a phase is feasible, or to re-research after a plan already exists. Standalone command; most workflows should use /gsd-plan-phase instead.
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
<objective> Research how to implement a phase. Spawns gsd-phase-researcher agent with phase context. **Note:** This is a standalone research command. For most workflows, use `/gsd-plan-phase` which integrates research automatically. **Use this command when:** - You want to research without planning yet - You want to re-research after planning is complete - You need to investigate before deciding if a phase is feasible **Orchestrator role:** Parse phase, validate against roadmap, check existing research, gather context, spawn researcher agent, present results. **Why subagent:** Research burns context fast (WebSearch, Context7 queries, source verification). Fresh 200k context for investigation. Main context stays lean for user interaction. </objective> <available_agent_types> Valid GSD subagent types (use exact names — do not fall back to 'general-purpose'): - gsd-phase-researcher — Researches technical approaches for a phase </available_agent_types> <context> Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (required) Normalize phase input in step 1 before any directory lookups. </context> <process> ## 0. Initialize Context ```bash …

How to install
mdr add coco-research/coco/gsd-research-phase@sha256:a1d21bf4c302a087The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.e75f220, 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.
