Investigate an open question properly — frame it as a decision, work from primary sources, sweep from several angles including the disconfirming one, and stop on a rule rather than on fatigue. Use when a question's answer will change what gets built or bought, when the material is unfamiliar or contested, or when someone asks for a recommendation with evidence behind it. Not for looking up a single fact you can confirm in one place, not for mapping the local codebase, and not for judging one…

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

The failure mode is not finding too little. It is finding the first plausible answer, in one kind
of source, and reporting it with a confidence the search never earned.

## When this fires

A question is open, its answer changes a decision, and the evidence is not already in the
conversation. It does not fire for a fact with one authoritative home (the repository, the spec,
the user's own document) — read that and be done.

## Procedure

1. **Write the question as a decision.** What will be done differently depending on the answer,
   and what would count as enough evidence to act. A question with no such criterion produces a
   survey, and a survey decides nothing.
2. **Set the stopping rule before searching** — a budget in sources or time, plus "new sources stop
   changing the answer". Deciding when to stop after you are tired is how research inflates.
3. **Split the question** into sub-questions that can be answered separately, and mark each as a
   fact, a number, or a judgement. They need different evidence and they fail differently.
4. **Spend what you already have first.** The repository, the user's supplied material, prior
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add nahid-sparktales/agent-dispatcher/deep-research@sha256:d422586900a42045

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.a0d4f55, 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.
