Researches a thinking framework end to end and produces a schema-valid proposed registry entry plus a learning dossier, grading the evidence on the seven-tier model and assessing overlap against the shipped catalog. Use when you need an honest evidence grade and a build-or-fold verdict for a candidate method before turning it into a skill, when reproducing the evidence-and-overlap vetting on a method the catalog already judged, or when you need a ranked shortlist of new candidate methods in a…
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
<!-- thinking-framework-skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills | Apache-2.0 --> # Research Framework This meta-skill is the entry point to the framework-research engine. It is not a thinking method and ships no registry entry of its own; it delegates the bounded research role to the `think-research-framework` subagent so the work runs in its own context with web search. ## When to use - You have a candidate thinking method and need an honest evidence grade, an overlap call against the shipped catalog, a learning dossier, and a proposed registry entry before deciding whether to build it. - You want to reproduce the evidence-and-overlap vetting on a method the catalog already judged. - You want a ranked shortlist of new candidate methods in a given family. ## When NOT to use - You already know the verdict and just want to author the skill. Go straight to the skill-authoring flow. - The request is a product or domain question rather than a thinking-method evaluation. That belongs in the sibling pm-skills library. - You want a framework executed on your own problem. That is what the individual `think-` skills (and the advisor's plan) are for. …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-research-framework@sha256:da7f8b01a1501510The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
