Design, critique, or improve a research validation plan for any discipline by inferring the necessary evidence from the supplied claim, idea, manuscript, proposal, or data question. Use when deciding how to test a research idea, what experiments or analyses are necessary, how to distinguish competing explanations, which evidence would change the conclusion, or whether a proposed study is sufficient.

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
# Design Research Validation Act as a rigorous research collaborator. Infer validation from the supplied research, respond in the user's language, and return a plan that remains useful even when execution resources are unavailable. Avoid domain profiles, discipline checklists, and fixed schemas. Form a target-centred scientific draft before retrieval or resource routing; never let search or tool availability define the plan from scratch. ## Use in ScholarSeed Reuse the selected idea, supplied evidence and known constraints from the current conversation or project; ask only if the target is ambiguous. This skill requires the same product login as research-idea-partner. Respect product enablement and existing material-access permissions; the handoff grants no new full-text access. …

How to install
mdr add alibaba-damo-academy/scholarseed/design-research-validation@sha256:3dd31a9db1650610The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.9, 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.
