Find real, human-made references before anything is made, for AI image, video and music and for video made with code. Turns a request into one query pack per job (light first, then framing, people, location, texture, type, motion, palette, music and a "never" board), searches each source in its own words, opens everything it keeps, proves who made it, measures what code can measure, checks light with an LLM judge, and hands a person three candidates per job. Use when someone says…
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
# Find references Without a reference an agent falls back to its default look: "centered text, gradient background, everything fading in" (https://x.com/rexan_wong/status/2103707054108299437). Adding more words does not fix it. Three facts shape this skill: - **No library searches by ratio, shadow edge or Kelvin.** Search with words a cataloguer would use, then measure what you find. A spec and a query are different things. - **Machines read light and taste badly** (`references/evidence.md`). A judge answers literal questions about what is visible, and nothing else. - **The best libraries forbid bots.** Film-Grab, ShotDeck, Pinterest, Instagram, Rate Your Music and Bandcamp's pages are for people. The agent reads open archives and writes links for the person. So each part does what it can do. **Code owns facts in pixels and timing. Records own who made it and the rights. The LLM owns literal yes/no checks and the shortlist. A named person owns meaning and the final pick.** **Some things only a person can find.** In the cold run on an ad (`tested 2026-11-03`), no open source returned the …

How to install
mdr add varghq/skills/find-references@sha256:c96a7f585181dbafThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.1, 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.
