Comprehensive investigation of complex multi-domain narratives (technology, theology, policy, finance). Systematically decouples factual claims from speculation through iterative verification, multi-source comparison, and contradiction resolution. Use for investigations requiring institutional knowledge, historical context, and handling of conflicting incentives.
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
# Deep Investigative Research Investigates complex narratives spanning multiple domains by systematically verifying claims, resolving contradictions, and mapping institutional lineages. ## When to Use - Complex narratives spanning multiple domains (tech, theology, policy, finance) - Claims involving institutional actors and public figures - Apparent contradictions requiring resolution - Historical context needed to assess significance - Hidden stakeholder incentives driving observable behavior - Need to separate verified fact from speculation ## When NOT to Use - Simple factual lookups - No primary sources available - Purely technical/domain-specific questions - Time constraints prohibit iterative deepening --- ## 11 Core Subprocesses ### 1. Claim Inventory & Categorization Parse the narrative into atomic, verifiable claims and assign categories: - **Institutional claims** -- Official releases, filings, legal records - **Attribution claims** -- Quotes, statements by named figures - **Relational claims** -- Partnerships, allegations of influence - **Speculative framings** -- Interpretations, comparative metaphors **Output**: Prioritized verification checklist. ``` …

How to install
mdr add andrewbrown-usda/aigb-skills-usda/deep-investigative-research@sha256:c287e8c0c1a859c5The line at the top of this page pins the label v1, 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.
