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

# Deep Research — Universal Academic Research Agent Team

Universal deep research tool — a domain-agnostic 13-agent team for rigorous academic research on any topic.

**v2.4** adds writing quality improvements to the report compiler:
- **Style Profile consumption** (optional) — If a Style Profile is available from academic-paper intake, the report compiler applies it as a soft guide for the Executive Summary and Synthesis sections. Discipline conventions and report objectivity take priority.
- **Writing Quality Check** — The report compiler uses `academic-paper/references/writing_quality_check.md` as a diagnostic guide before finalizing (prompts for judgment subordinate to author and venue requirements, not quotas), and flags claims the cited sources do not support as `[MATERIAL GAP]` rather than hedging them (#825).

> **Routing discipline (v3.9.2):** plugin and skills-copy installs do not load this repository's `.claude/CLAUDE.md`, so its routing core is repeated below, identical to `shared/references/routing_core.md` (#892). If routing has not settled when this skill loads, apply the core before dispatching any agent.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add imbad0202/academic-research-skills/deep-research@sha256:d4b056eab3bb520b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.12.1, 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.
