crucible-investigation-methodology skillA
crucible-investigation-methodology is agent-read markdown (skill) from terrylica/cc-skills: actively investigating a hypothesis — running a sweep, dispatching multi-agent analysis, designing serial adversarial gates,.
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.
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@git:20260904.d84ba3bmdr add terrylica/cc-skills/crucible-investigation-methodology@sha256:6334de8a92397fadPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
