topic SKILL.md skillA
topic from borda/ai-rig is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add borda/ai-rig/topic@git:20261102.2aa287dPins git:20261102.2aa287d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Research State of the Art (SOTA) literature for an Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) topic, method, or architecture. Finds relevant papers, builds a comparison table, recommends the best implementation strategy for the current codebase, and optionally produces a phased implementation plan mapped to the codebase. Owns broad SOTA search end-to-end via foundry:web-explorer; delegates codebase mapping to foundry:solution-architect.
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
<objective> Research AI/ML topic literature. Return actionable findings: SOTA methods, best fit, concrete implementation plan. Skill = orchestrator — gathers codebase context, delegates literature search to researcher agent, packages results into structured report. NOT for deep single-paper analysis or experiment design — use `research:scientist` directly for hypothesis generation, ablation design, experiment validation. </objective> <inputs> - **$ARGUMENTS**: one of: - `<topic>` — topic, method name, or problem description (e.g. "object detection for small objects", "efficient transformers", "self-supervised pretraining for medical images") - `plan` — produce phased implementation plan from most recent research output (auto-detected from `.temp/`) - `plan <path-to-output.md>` — produce plan from specific existing research output file - `--team` — multi-agent mode; spawns 2–3 researcher teammates for topics with 3+ competing method families and no SOTA consensus; ~7× token cost vs single-agent mode </inputs> <compaction> - Key boundary: end of Step 2 — SOTA literature gathered and written to AGENT_OUT; before Step 3 report synthesis. …

How to install
mdr add borda/ai-rig/topic@sha256:d280dc99af199551The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.2aa287d, 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.
