Structured external research — checklist, tool selection, insights document. Used by researcher agent in /dr-prd and /dr-do.
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 Workflow
Structured methodology for investigating external context before planning or during implementation. Produces a `datarim/insights/INSIGHTS-{task-id}.md` document.
## Research Modes
### Full Mode (L3-L4) — 10 checkpoints
For features, new systems, or tasks involving unfamiliar technology. Runs all 10 checklist items.
### Lite Mode (L2) — 5 checkpoints
For enhancements where most context is known. Runs items 1, 3, 4, 6, 9 only.
### Skip (L1)
Quick fixes do not need research. Skip entirely.

How to install
mdr add arcanada-one/datarim/research-workflow@sha256:81bbf2e4426ae6a0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.8dfccd1, 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.
