Create a Deep Research BackgroundAgentJob for substantial evidence-based investigation of the external world: what is true, how it may develop, or whether a claim or forecast holds. This includes asset prices, demand, competition, and risk even when the reader will act on the result. Use research-for-planning only for researching constraints and options to design a controllable operating, product, market-entry, or launch plan.

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

# Create Deep Research Task

## Clarify the request

Establish the research goal and intent, the success criteria, and the
constraints from the request, the conversation, relevant memory, and what the
environment and tools can tell you. If a fact can be found with a tool, look it
up rather than asking.

Ask the human only about a decision that changes the conclusion, the
authorization, or the deliverable scope and that you cannot settle yourself.
Ask one question at a time, give your recommended answer, and wait for the
reply; start with the question whose wrong answer wastes the most work, usually
what the research must establish, rarely the output format. A request that is
already explicit and within an existing authorization, such as a monitoring or
research task the human has already defined, needs no confirmation round: state
the assumptions you make and create the Job.

Before the first question, tell the human that they may ask you to create the
Job without further clarification. Treat such a request as confirmation: stop
asking, state your assumptions, what the Job will treat as given, and the
choices left to the Job, then create the Job.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add agentbull/ankole/create-deep-research@sha256:e41019f32182e6c5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.be5c19e, 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.
