Research a topic on the open web and write a cited Markdown report. Use when the user asks for a report, a literature scan, a competitive landscape, or a "what's the current state of X" answer that needs sources.
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
# Research Report
Turn one broad question into a sourced Markdown report. The value is in the
decomposition — a single search rarely answers a real research question.
## Procedure
1. **Decompose.** Restate the topic as 3–5 sub-questions that together answer it.
Show them to the user before searching so they can redirect you early.
2. **Search each sub-question** with `search_web(query, num_results=5)`. Use a
different phrasing per sub-question; do not reuse the user's wording verbatim
for all of them.
3. **Read the best sources.** For the 2–3 most promising results per
sub-question, call `fetch_page(url)` to get the actual text. Never cite a page
you only saw as a search snippet.
4. **Write the report** with this shape:
- One-paragraph answer to the original question, up front.
- One section per sub-question.
- Every non-obvious claim followed by an inline `[source](url)` link.
- A "What I could not confirm" section — say so when the web disagreed or
went quiet. An honest gap beats a confident guess.
5. **Deliver** as Markdown in the reply.

How to install
mdr add amd/gaia/research-report@sha256:6e435d0ecee4f509The 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.
