research SKILL.md skillA
research from borda/ai-rig is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add borda/ai-rig/research@git:20261031.2278c0cPins git:20261031.2278c0c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Research docs, papers, or state of the art; provide source-backed recommendations and caveats.
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
> Before asking, read [User Questions](../../shared/codex-user-questions.md). Waits, plan updates, and test runs follow [Agent Waits](../../shared/native-skill-contract.md#agent-waits), [Plan Updates](../../shared/native-skill-contract.md#plan-updates), and [Sandboxed Test Runs](../../shared/native-skill-contract.md#sandboxed-test-runs).
# Research
> Task-size routing follows [Proportional Execution](../../shared/native-skill-contract.md#proportional-execution); this skill's specialized lifecycle and acceptance checks remain authoritative.
Source-backed research for documentation, API migration, paper, or state-of-the-art questions.
## Input Schema
```json
{
"question": "required research question",
"mode": "docs|sota|paper|methodology|code-fidelity",
"constraints": [
"optional codebase, compute, version, or implementation constraints"
],
"done_when": "recommendations are source-backed with caveats and confidence"
}
```
## Workflow
### 01: Create run directory
Run `create_run.py --skill research` per `../../shared/helper-cli-contract.md`.
### 02: Define research question, mode, and constraints
Modes:
- `docs`: current API/docs/migration answer.
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add borda/ai-rig/research@sha256:f1cc56c7198f55edThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.2278c0c, 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.
