Current, source-grounded implementation research for libraries, frameworks, SDKs, and APIs. Use when coding depends on version-specific syntax, configuration, behavior, examples, release changes, or migration guidance, or when the user asks to verify documentation. Answer stable conceptual questions directly.
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 Resolve implementation questions with evidence that matches the project's actual version and runtime. ## Process ### 1. Frame the claims Turn the request into the smallest set of facts needed to proceed. Identify the target library or API, runtime, installed or requested version, and required artifact: direct answer, code example, migration guidance, or repository Markdown file. Completion: every material question is explicit, and the target version and artifact are known or recorded as unresolved. ### 2. Establish local version evidence Inspect manifests, lockfiles, configuration, imports, installed declarations, and nearby code before researching external material. Treat the installed package and types as the compatibility boundary. Ask for a version only when the repository and request do not determine one. Completion: the implementation environment and exact version are known, or the answer is explicitly scoped to a named latest/stable version. ### 3. Gather primary evidence Use available documentation and web tools. Prefer sources in this order: 1. versioned official documentation, specifications, and API references; …

How to install
mdr add kriscard/skills/research@sha256:dacbb107565b6febThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.131213e, 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.
