survey-and-audit-novelty skillA

survey-and-audit-novelty is agent-read markdown (skill) from gxcaesar/open-research-skills: Use when deciding whether a research direction is still open, including a literature survey that has to end in a decision, a novelty audit, a prior art check, a scoop check against recent work, asking whether anyone has already done this, or checking that the variables an idea needs actually co-exist in one obtainable dataset. Use before an experimental plan is written, and again whenever a near-identical paper appears..

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.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add gxcaesar/open-research-skills/survey-and-audit-novelty@git:20260909.71c1b78
Exact content
mdr add gxcaesar/open-research-skills/survey-and-audit-novelty@sha256:eaa92d2cfecf1dfc

Pin 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.
