USE FOR: Verifying technical claims, comparing options, and investigating unfamiliar libraries/APIs/tools with cited, confidence-rated evidence. DO NOT USE FOR: implementation, opinion without evidence, or tasks better served by a narrower repo-specific skill (e.g. `data-platform`, `dev-platform-workflow`).
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
# Technical Research Owns evidence-based investigation: verifying claims, comparing options with sourced tradeoffs, and confirming how libraries, APIs, and tools actually behave before conclusions are relied on. ## 1. Discipline - Verify information from multiple sources before presenting as fact - Prefer official documentation over blog posts; note publication dates - Flag confidence level (High/Medium/Low) on each finding - Clearly separate facts from opinions and recommendations ## 2. Workflow 1. Clarify scope: what exactly needs to be answered? 2. Search official docs first (WebSearch + WebFetch) 3. Check GitHub repos: issues, discussions, source code for implementation details ```sh # Clone to /tmp for analysis when needed git clone --depth 1 <repo-url> /tmp/<repo-name> ``` 4. Cross-reference: do multiple sources agree? Flag contradictions. 5. Test when possible: run code, check versions, verify claims hands-on 6. When synthesis needs categories, labels, or first-use terms before final wording, use `clarify-concepts` after evidence acquisition and before drafting conclusions. ## 3. Source Priority 1. Official documentation and changelogs …

How to install
mdr add i9wa4/dotfiles/technical-research@sha256:ff0f3b5bd9223ef9The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
