Produce an up-to-date, state-of-the-art recommendation using domain expertise and web research. Use only when explicitly invoked.

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

# SOTA

Draw on your existing domain knowledge, including established practices and known failure modes from others’ implementations. Search the web for current state-of-the-art approaches, industry standards, and how others solve this problem. Recommend the best solution for this specific context.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jhostalek/dotclaude/sota@sha256:792eb153d7be2c5a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.1ca1813, 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.
