Research current practices or compare approaches using primary evidence and the user's constraints.
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
# Best practices Research the requested topic with current, high-quality evidence and first-principles reasoning. Keep research artifacts outside the repository unless the result remains useful after the task. If a subagent performs the research, give the main agent the artifact paths. For technical topics, prefer primary and authoritative sources: - official documentation and specifications; - maintainer posts, authoritative engineering blogs, and peer-reviewed papers; - widely adopted open-source projects that are actively maintained. Age each claim against its own horizon. Versions, APIs, pricing, limits, and advisories can change within weeks. Tool choices can change within months. Architecture and patterns can remain valid for years. Explain why an older source still applies and check whether a newer source replaced it. Mark facts that you cannot confirm as unverified. Cite material claims inline and separate evidence from inference. Explain consensus, disagreement, uncertainty, and where each recommendation applies. State what evidence would overturn the recommendation. Recommend for the user's goals and constraints, not for an imaginary average user. …

How to install
mdr add reidemeister94/development-skills/best-practices@sha256:f7a936a447e36d03The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.a9f7da5, 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.
