research-writing SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

Write the document of a research run — plan the question and the outline with rs_plan, write prose and declare its claims together with rs_write, choose the claim strength the evidence actually holds, follow the section structure the run's kind maps to, read the draft back, and build a watermarked draft before the gated clean build. Use when a run's document has to be written, a section drafted, a claim bound to a source, or a build attempted.

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

# The document

Writing here is two acts in one call: the prose, and the ledger rows for every
claim the prose makes. `rs_write` will not let them come apart, and that is the
whole reason to use it rather than typing Markdown into a file.

## Plan first — `rs_plan`

Three parts, written to `plan/<part>.md`:

- `part=rq` — the research question, in one sentence you could falsify. This is
  what gate `g1-rq` shows the person to confirm.
- `part=outline` — the shape. This is the one part with a **machine meaning**:
  lines of `- <slug>: <title>` order the section files at build time, and a section
  file no line names is appended to the end rather than dropped.
- `part=method` — how the work was done: what was searched, what was included and
  excluded, how sources were read.

`rs_write slug=… section=memory` writes `doc/sections/memory.md`, so an outline
line `- memory: Sleep and memory consolidation` is what puts it in order. Read
`part=outline` back with `rs_plan action=read part=outline`.

**Pick one shape and keep it.** With any file in `doc/sections/`, the builder
assembles the document from the sections and ignores `doc/paper.md` entirely; with
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vecnode/vn-code/research-writing@sha256:4d941721c576ec09

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.34747c0, 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.
