Orchestrates survey-architect, feedback-synthesizer, and research-reporter as an iterative research loop that routes back upstream when a downstream step can't proceed cleanly, with per-study state and a per-product longitudinal benchmark. Use this as the single entry point for any UX research task — a new study, raw data to make sense of, or a report to write — rather than calling the three skills directly. Trigger when someone starts a new research study, pastes raw feedback/survey data…
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 Loop
Runs survey-architect, feedback-synthesizer, and research-reporter as a
loop that behaves like an actual research team: someone can say "that
sample's too small, we need more data" and send it back, rather than
quietly writing up a shaky number.
Each of the three skills works standalone. This skill exists for the
handoffs between them and the file structure that lets a later skill (or
a later *study*) pick up where an earlier one left off.

## The loop at a glance

Entry detection
↓
survey-architect (intake → instrument → sample size → deploy-ready spec)
↓
[ pause: wait for data collection ]
↓
feedback-synthesizer (score + CI + significance + theme + severity)
↑___________kick back if n insufficient for stated goal_______|
↓
research-reporter (audience-formatted output)
```
Max loop-backs: 2 per study. If a second kickback doesn't resolve it,
surface the trade-off to the researcher rather than looping a third time.

How to install
mdr add ommakes/skills/research-loop@sha256:c9c74dcb8278930aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.3, 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.
