research-swarm from tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Turn any hypothesis, however fringe, into an argument map rather than a verdict: five independent lenses (consensus, skeptic, frontier, historian, experimental design), then a synthesis of for and against, evidence quality, a confidence tier and the cheapest decisive experiment. Triggers: "/research-swarm <hypothesis>", "map the arguments on X".
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-swarm — an argument map for any hypothesis (a swarm of research agents) > 🧒 **When reporting to a non-technical operator:** end with a child-simple "In plain words" recap in their language. > ⚖️ **Doctrine:** this skill IS the operational arm of `protocol-epistemic-neutrality-fringe-research`. NEVER judge or mock the hypothesis. Consensus ≠ truth. Build a map of arguments + confidence — **an investigation, not a verdict**. Bounded by `operating-agreement` safety invariants (no illegal/harm/bypass/fraud). ## When to use The operator hands a hypothesis — frontier science (antigravity, perpetual motion, anomalous materials, radical longevity, models of consciousness/time), an unusual business model (DAO/network states, no-employee AI co, token labor markets), or a controversial/stigmatized vertical (adult, gaming, gambling). Goal: a balanced, grounded **argument map**, not a yes/no. ## The 5 lenses (run as a parallel swarm) 1. **Consensus** — steelman the current mainstream/established view. What does well-replicated science / the market actually hold, and why. …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/research-swarm@sha256:ec2b049a35e5d49cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.cd6c208, 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.
