research:prior-art skillA

research:prior-art is agent-read markdown (skill) from bendrucker/claude: Research existing solutions when exploring a new problem space. Use when the user mentions "prior art", "existing solutions", "what libraries exist for", or wants to understand the landscape before building..

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.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add bendrucker/claude/research:prior-art@git:20260724.2913803
Exact content
mdr add bendrucker/claude/research:prior-art@sha256:a38dcd139b6cbd5c

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.
