spike is agent-read markdown (skill) from ulises-jeremias/agent-toolkit: WHAT - Produce spike and research findings using the spike template; captures purpose, findings,.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Spike and Research Findings (WHAT)
Use for technical exploration, feasibility validation, architecture assessment, or research outputs that should influence design or implementation.
## Default guardrails
1. Apply **`output-handshake`** before final output.
2. Make findings actionable: recommendation, tradeoffs, open questions, and next steps.
3. Link from **`trd`** when the spike informs technical design.
4. Link from **`adr`** when the spike leads to a durable decision.

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
