Deep, cited research across official docs, Codex web tools, Context7 API, GitHub, package source, rendered web pages, and Firecrawl with evidence ledgers.

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 Researcher

Use this skill when a task needs defensible, current, multi-source research:
library/API decisions, dependency investigations, release or changelog analysis,
GitHub issue/source archaeology, agent-prompt research, standards checks, or
high-stakes citations.

## Operating Model

Use a dual-plane design:

- Codex-native plane: use `web.search_query`, `web.open`, `web.find`, GitHub
  app tools, Context7 MCP when explicitly useful, Exa MCP, and `$opensrc` from
  the session. These tools are available to Codex, not to the Rust CLI.
- CLI plane: use `codex-research` for provider routing, Context7 REST API,
  GitHub REST/`gh` fallback, Firecrawl calls, direct fetch probes, SQLite/CAS
  cache state, JSONL ledgers, Markdown reports, doctor output, and evals.

Always treat search results as leads until hydrated into source records. A
claim is not ready to rely on until it is tied to source IDs, source freshness,
and a confidence score.

## Source Routing

Default order for broad research:

1. Native Codex web for narrow current facts, official docs, and quick source
   confirmation.
2. Context7 REST API through `codex-research context7` for version-aware
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bjornmelin/dev-skills/deep-researcher@sha256:ee62118d8e15a4ce

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260507.82ed323, 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.
