Expert knowledge for AI deep research — methodology, source evaluation, search optimization, cross-referencing, synthesis, and citation formats.

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

# Deep Research Expert Knowledge

## Research Methodology

### Research Process (5 phases)
1. **Define**: Clarify the question, identify what's known vs unknown, set scope
2. **Search**: Systematic multi-strategy search across diverse sources
3. **Evaluate**: Assess source quality, extract relevant data, note limitations
4. **Synthesize**: Combine findings into coherent answer, resolve contradictions
5. **Verify**: Cross-check critical claims, identify remaining uncertainties

### Question Types & Strategies
| Question Type | Strategy | Example |
|--------------|----------|---------|
| Factual | Find authoritative primary source | "What is the population of Tokyo?" |
| Comparative | Multi-source balanced analysis | "React vs Vue for large apps?" |
| Causal | Evidence chain + counterfactuals | "Why did Theranos fail?" |
| Predictive | Trend analysis + expert consensus | "Will quantum computing replace classical?" |
| How-to | Step-by-step from practitioners | "How to set up a Kubernetes cluster?" |
| Survey | Comprehensive landscape mapping | "What are the options for vector databases?" |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add librefang/librefang/researcher-hand-skill@sha256:89a521f151dad42a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
