actively investigating a hypothesis — running a sweep, dispatching multi-agent analysis, designing serial adversarial gates,.
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
# Investigation Methodology — 6 execution patterns > **Self-Evolving Skill**: If any pattern here fails in practice (wrong results, wasted compute), update the section AND append to `references/evolution-log.md`. Don't defer. These 6 patterns executed in service of `a-research-foundations`. They are the "how" to the foundations' "why". Apply in roughly this order for a new hypothesis. --- ## 1. LLM-native data representation — quintile tokens Before asking an agent to "look at" numerical market data, encode as per-bar token sequences using **rolling quintile ranks** within a causal window. **Canonical schema**: ``` idx dir body_q range_q dur_q uwick_q lwick_q loc sess fwd+H... ``` Each quintile is `1..5` in a causal 200-bar rolling window (see Skill A §1). Agents can spot motifs like `+1:5:1|+1:5:1|+1:5:1` (three consecutive fast big-up bars) that are invisible in float-space. Context-budget rule: 60 KB tokenized stats-table fits in agent context; 67 MB raw bars don't. Full reference: `findings/methodology/01-llm-native-data-representation.md`. --- ## 2. Serial adversarial gates (A/B/C/D/E protocol) …

How to install
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/crucible-investigation-methodology@sha256:c6ca22f9bef52dbbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.cf2a6a9, 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.
