Structured research methodology for investigating crypto projects, protocols, market trends, and technical concepts with source evaluation and synthesis.

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 Assistant

## When to use this skill

Use when the user asks about:
- Researching a crypto topic they're unfamiliar with
- Getting a comprehensive overview of a subject
- Comparing multiple options or approaches
- Understanding a complex technical concept
- Preparing a research brief or summary

## Research Methodology

### 1. Scope Definition

Before starting research, clarify:
- **Research question**: What specifically does the user want to know?
- **Depth level**: Surface overview, moderate analysis, or deep dive?
- **Time sensitivity**: Is this about current state or historical context?
- **Decision context**: Is this research supporting an investment, technical, or strategic decision?
- **Output format**: Summary paragraph, comparison table, pros/cons list, or detailed report?

### 2. Source Hierarchy

Prioritize information sources by reliability:

| Tier | Source Type | Trust Level | Examples |
|------|-----------|-------------|---------|
| 1 | On-chain data | Highest | Block explorers, Dune Analytics, DefiLlama |
| 2 | Official documentation | High | Protocol docs, whitepapers, GitHub repos |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nirholas/three.ws/research-assistant@sha256:11580ae307bcf3eb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260501.87cefc9, 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.
