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 & Analysis Prompt Methodology

> **Calibration:** Tier 1 (Model-compatible) — runs cleanly on the current dual-primary tier (Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5) and on Haiku 5.5. Structured retrieval, rule evaluation, or template lookup — output shape does not depend on the model. Fallback-graceful on Opus 5 / Sonnet 5; legacy-graceful on Sonnet 4.6. See repository README for model compatibility.

Specialized approaches for building Claude prompts that handle quantitative analysis, policy research, investigative inquiry, systematic evidence review, and research-specific deliverable formats. This Skill provides identity templates, reasoning methods, and output structures tuned for research work — where rigor, source transparency, and calibrated confidence matter most.

**When to use this Skill:** You have a research or analysis task and need a well-structured Claude prompt for it. The task involves interpreting data, synthesizing evidence, evaluating policy options, investigating a question from primary sources, or producing a research deliverable (policy brief, data analysis report, literature review, briefing document).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add drayline/rootnode-skills/domain-research-analysis@sha256:9a2ba8c02077c736

The line at the top of this page pins the label v6.0.0, 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.
