The evidence, judgement, intake and market-data rules every research deliverable follows. Read before the first deliverable of a research task; when a number has no source; when two sources disagree; when a figure may be stale; when deciding what to ask the user; before any valuation, thesis or recommendation.
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 Conventions The shared layer beneath every skill in this plugin. Each research skill says what to build; this one says what a figure has to carry, how far the evidence lets the language go, what is worth asking before starting, and how periods, windows and returns are computed. It holds those rules so no skill re-derives them: on evidence, judgement, intake and market-data mechanics this layer is the source of truth, and the calling skill owns what its deliverable contains. ## Reference files - Any deliverable that prints a figure, a number with no source, two sources disagreeing, a figure that may be stale, or how densely to cite: `.agents/skills/research-conventions/references/evidence.md`. - A valuation, a thesis, a recommendation, a scenario set, or any section that ends in what to do: `.agents/skills/research-conventions/references/judgment.md`. - Before asking the user anything at the start of a task, and when deciding whether to ask at all: `.agents/skills/research-conventions/references/intake.md`. …

How to install
mdr add ginlix-ai/langalpha/research-conventions@sha256:f14ef18ea58eee0cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.83309ed, 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.
