research-wayfinder skillA

research-wayfinder is agent-read markdown (skill) from scdenney/open-science-skills: Plan a research project as a decision map that outlives any single session — a destination (a defensible, pre-registerable design) reached by resolving decision tickets of four kinds, one at a time. Adapted for research from Matt Pocock's wayfinder. The map lives in the repo as markdown; each session claims one frontier ticket; literature sweeps run as parallel research tickets; the resolved map compiles into a pre-analysis plan. Use at the start of a project, when a design has more open decisio.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
