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

# Competitive landscape: verified comparison and best-in-class gap analysis - DESIGN

## TL;DR
- **What:** A verified, dated, primary-source comparison of `agent-skills-toolkit` against the 6-8 tools that actually compete with a tiered library Standard, plus the public matrix and a best-in-class gap analysis that come out of it.
- **Why:** The existing research base (seven cross-LLM reports in `_local/standards-comparison/`) contradicts itself on load-bearing facts and contains likely-fabricated tools and stats. For a project whose entire identity is deterministic rigor, "verified" cannot be a label we inherit from those reports - it must be a process we run.
- **How:** Co-design one schema where every dossier field maps 1:1 to a matrix column, verify each tool against primary sources into a dated profile, then distill the matrix, the gap analysis, and the public surfaces as views of that one dataset.
- **Status:** Approved design, re-based on v1.5.0 + the eval-target corpus run (2026-06-09; see section 3b). Next: implementation plan via writing-plans.

- **Date:** 2026-06-09
- **Deciders:** maintainer (jprisant), with Claude (Opus 4.8)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add product-on-purpose/agent-skills-toolkit/docs/internal/research/DESIGN.md@sha256:21d101b2bb7f3748

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260610.74583cc, 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.
