Answers a question from the team's own record (chat archives, call transcripts, tickets, wiki pages, notes, any mix) through a knowledge-base adapter you fill in. Read-only, never from memory, every claim cited to the source it came from. Use when invoked explicitly to find what the team said or decided, who owns something, or whether a plan contradicts an earlier decision.

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

# kb-research

Answer the question from the team's record, not from memory. Every claim in the answer traces to an anchor in a source that was actually read during this run.

The task is the text given with this invocation.

Read [references/knowledge-base.md](references/knowledge-base.md) FIRST. It is the adapter: it names your sources, ranks them, and holds the query recipes, citation formats, freshness checks, traps and privacy rules. This skill holds the method only. If the adapter still has unfilled `<...>` placeholders for a source you need, stop and ask the user to fill them in. Never guess an endpoint, a path or a query syntax.

---

## Hard rules

- **Read-only.** Never write to a source, post a message, edit a ticket or change a record. The only exception is a refresh step the adapter defines and marks as safe for this skill to run.
- **Never answer from memory.** A claim with no anchor is dropped, or listed under unknowns. Being "pretty sure" is a gap to research, not a finding.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add geiserx/agent-skills/kb-research@sha256:86460b03f1d0de9d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.133011b, 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.
