Investigate bounded uncertainties in proposed project increments and return evidence for choosing a design.
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
Use the [handoff contract](../../references/design-loop-contract.md). Inputs: request context, baseline and options with questions; caller-supplied options need no brainstorming stage. Unless the caller overrides, use at most 3 focused lookup/search operations and 5 relevant sources per invocation. Inspect supplied/local material first, external sources as needed. A lookup reads documentation, project evidence or a public source. Record coverage and uncertainty. For assignment `research-options`, prioritize questions that could change the choice and gather evidence within bounds. Return source paths/URLs, observations, supported/unsupported claims, tradeoffs, changed preferences and questions. State when local evidence suffices or required external evidence is unavailable. Inaccessible or unchecked sources are not findings.

How to install
mdr add danmcinerney/orchflows/research-options@sha256:9fa59cdae10c4ac5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260918.c9794ad, 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.
