deep-research SKILL.md skillA

deep-research from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/deep-research@git:20260726.96786d1

Pins git:20260726.96786d1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Universal multi-source research orchestration. Use for any research/investigate/analyze request needing synthesis across web, codebase, and community evidence — especially broad, mixed, or ambiguous intent. Triggers on: 'research this', 'deep research', 'investigate', 'analyze from multiple angles', 'comprehensive analysis', 'explore this topic', 'study', 'survey the landscape', 'look into', 'understand deeply', '了解', '調查', '分析', '研究'. When intent is clearly single-dimension…

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 — Multi-Agent Research Orchestration

## Trigger

- Any research intent: deep research, research this, explore topic, investigate, analyze, comprehensive analysis, compare approaches, study, survey, look into, understand deeply
- zh-TW: 了解, 調查, 分析, 研究, 從各面向研究
- Broad or ambiguous questions needing multiple perspectives
- Mixed-intent queries spanning web + code + community evidence

## When NOT to Use

| Scenario | Alternative |
|----------|------------|
| Code review / PR review | `/codex-review-fast` |
| Bug fix / implementation | `/bug-fix` or `/feature-dev` |
| Adversarial debate only (no research) | `/codex-brainstorm` |

> **Soft routing hint**: If intent is clearly single-dimension (code-only lookup, compliance-checklist audit, bounded option ranking), the dispatcher may prefer a specialized skill. For broad or mixed research needs, `/deep-research` is the default entry point — use `--budget low` for lightweight research.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/deep-research@sha256:48584f7ba12267d5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260726.96786d1, 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.
