vaultspec-code-research from nevenincs/vaultspec-core is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add nevenincs/vaultspec-core/vaultspec-code-research@git:20260924.afdc9ea

Ground a decision or plan in how real code does it. Use when an ADR or plan needs a blueprint from this or another codebase.

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

# Code research (vaultspec-code-research)

Produces a Reference record: how a codebase (this project, a submodule, or an external
reference) implements the thing, as patterns with locators. It is an entry point
alongside `vaultspec-research`; sufficient Audit evidence can also ground an ADR. This
skill terminates within one run.

## Steps

- Discover per the `vaultspec-discovery` rule: locate code by meaning, read the
  epicenter or nearest analogue whole, confirm exact symbols with grep, and list the
  decisions.
- Scaffold: `vaultspec-core vault add reference --feature {feature}` (or the `create`
  tool). Read `.vaultspec/templates/reference.md`; its hint blocks fix the body shape.
- Audit in this run, or dispatch the `vaultspec-reference-auditor` persona to locate and
  audit the `{feature}` implementation in the named codebase; it returns findings for
  you to persist. If the record exists already, update its body.
- Verify with `vaultspec-core vault check all`.

## Quality gate

- **Faithful.** Exact module and `file:line`; the reference's version or commit pinned.
- **Pattern-level.** Abstractions, boundaries, and module interactions; never pasted
  implementation.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add nevenincs/vaultspec-core/vaultspec-code-research@sha256:38b76510a2c8d37e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.afdc9ea, 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.
