Research skill for ketch — a fast stateless CLI for web search, OSS code search, curated library docs, page scraping, and site crawling; an optional MCP server exists for operators who want it, but the CLI is the primary interface. Use when a question needs live sources: 'research X', 'what are people saying about Y', 'find docs or real-world examples for Z', 'scrape/crawl this site' — or when installing or configuring ketch backends. Routes search vs code vs docs vs scrape vs crawl, keeps…
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
# Ketch Route every live-source question to one of ketch's five research surfaces — search, code, docs, scrape, crawl — over the transport the operator gave you, with a token budget on every fetch and a source URL on every claim. ketch is one stateless binary — call, result, exit — with web search, OSS code grep, curated library docs, and page/site extraction together, so a complete research pipeline needs no other tool and no daemon. ## Transport: stateless CLI by default, MCP when the operator wired it The CLI is ketch's identity: call → result → exit, `--json` on every call, exit codes as control flow, zero daemon. That is the default transport and the zero-infrastructure path. The MCP server is a supported alternative for operators who want it — never a prerequisite. Decide once per session, before the first call: 1. `which ketch` succeeds → the CLI is your transport: `--json` on every call, exit codes as control flow. …

How to install
mdr add 1broseidon/ketch/ketch@sha256:b87b87da9eafdc77The 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.
