The cross-project doctrine for writing, reviewing, and integrating rigorous multi-perspective deep-dive research notes in an Obsidian history/geopolitics vault — source tiers, the blocklist, hedging contested claims, the credibility-laundering trap, the note format, and cross-linking + Wikimedia imagery. Load in any research project's deep-dive, orchestrator, or integration agent (alongside /worker or /orchestrate).

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 — deep-dive note doctrine

The evergreen HOW for a vault history/geopolitics project: how a rigorous note is **written**,
**reviewed**, and **integrated**. It plugs into your role skill — a writer also loads `/worker`, a lead
also loads `/orchestrate`, an integrator loads `/worker`. The concrete subject, paths, sibling links,
and frontier come from your agent prompt + the vault/board (`/loom-pickup`), not here.

The canonical, authoritative method is the vault note **[[Research and Analysis Guideline]]** — the
source tiers, the blocklist, the three-layer separation, the credibility-laundering trap. Read it; this
skill is the operational distillation, not a replacement.

## The standard (applies to writing AND reviewing)

- **Tier-1 first.** Primary documents and scholarly references before anything. Attribute Tier-4
  think-tanks explicitly. **Never let a Tier-5 source stand alone** for a loaded claim. Encyclopaedia
  Britannica is a solid Tier-2 backbone for most subjects.
- **The blocklist — never cite:** Al Jazeera, Military Watch Magazine, Factually.co. ([[Research and
  Analysis Guideline]] holds the authoritative list — defer to it.) The blocklist applies to image

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add danielc000/loom/research@sha256:ecd5318e44eeff61

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.75bf56d, 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.
