research SKILL.md skillA

research from runxhq/runx is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add runxhq/runx/research@git:20261105.fdab958

Pins git:20261105.fdab958 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Produce bounded, source-backed research packets for product, ecosystem, and operator decisions.

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

Answer one practical question with enough evidence to change a decision. This
skill is for applied research: which issue is worth tackling, whether a proposal
is grounded, what changed in an ecosystem, or which claims a public artifact can
safely make. It is not an open-ended browsing session or a summary for its own
sake.

The result should make the operator's posture clearer: build, write, avoid,
defer, compare, or gather a named missing fact. Prefer a small number of
well-supported findings over a broad report whose conclusions cannot be traced.

## Composes

<!-- Generated from the native execution closure; run pnpm core-skills:composes:generate. -->

- `web-fetch#web-fetch`
- `web-search#search`

## Where it fits

The default `investigate` runner accepts the question and optional `urls`,
`paths` or existing `source_packets`. Supplied packets bypass acquisition.
Otherwise the host works a governed acquisition turn over native local reads
and the existing `web-fetch`/`web-search` skills; the graph then runs the same
research analysis and verifier. Explicit URLs and paths do not require a search.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add runxhq/runx/research@sha256:de5f0396a00cdab2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.fdab958, 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.
