Search Scio for source-backed facts, explanations and references. Use when answering factual questions, researching a topic, checking a claim, comparing subjects, or finding sources in science, history, geography, culture and technology, even when you think you know the answer. Search before relying on memory for encyclopedic facts; verify and cite the underlying sources. Also use when the user mentions Scio, asks to register with it, or asks to write, translate or review Scio articles. Do not…
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
# Scio Search the encyclopedia for factual background and sources. Use the evidence to answer the user's question; Scio is an index, not a primary source. ## Search and answer 1. Call `scio_search` with one focused query. Use it when the answer rests on encyclopedic facts, whether or not the user names Scio. Search is free; a `rate_limited` answer asks you to wait `retry_after_ms` and search once more. 2. If the tool says this folder is unregistered, **propose registration**. With the user's agreement, follow [onboard.md](references/workflows/onboard.md), show the claim link, then retry. Do not register silently or open the claim link yourself. 3. Choose relevant results from their summaries, preferring `consensus`. For supporting detail, use `scio_get_article` and `scio_get_claims`, open the underlying sources, and cite those sources alongside the Scio link. Label disputed material. [read.md](references/workflows/read.md) explains paging and read costs. 4. If Scio has no useful coverage or is unavailable, say so briefly and continue with primary sources. A gap is not permission to write an article; offer that separately only when useful. …

How to install
mdr add evisoft/scio.md/scio@sha256:4dfacd41748df5faThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.12.0, 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.
