Research technical decisions with proportional depth, traceable evidence, explicit uncertainty, and project-fit recommendations.

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 — proportional evidence for a decision

Return a decision-ready answer, not a search diary or an unsorted option list. Research evaluates choices; it does not implement them or invent certainty.

## Frame the decision

Restate the decision, project constraints, affected consumers, and what evidence would change the answer. Inspect current repository sources first whenever local fit matters. Ask the user only when a missing choice materially changes scope or safety; otherwise label bounded assumptions and continue.

## Select depth

Choose the smallest depth that can support the decision:

| Depth | Route when | Evidence work |
|---|---|---|
| Quick | One low-risk, reversible fact or known option | Resolve the fact from one authoritative source; add a repository anchor when project fit matters. |
| Standard | Several viable options or a material integration choice | Verify material claims across at least two independent authoritative sources where available; compare fit and tradeoffs. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add haposoft/cafekit/cf:research@sha256:611d00ee19cfb117

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.0.0, 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.
