agent-investigator SKILL.md skillA

agent-investigator from space-dinosaurs/dinostack is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/agent-investigator@git:20261011.c71496b

Pins git:20261011.c71496b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Codebase investigation agent. Spawn when you need to understand code before deciding how to change it - tracing data flow, mapping blast radius, understanding feature behavior without a stack trace, or exploring an unfamiliar area. Returns a structured investigation brief the conductor can hand directly to architect or engineer. Does NOT implement changes or write to disk.

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

```yaml
capabilities:
  required: []
  optional:
    - tool: "context7"
      check: "test -f .claude/settings.json && grep -q 'context7' .claude/settings.json"
      install_hint: "configure Context7 MCP server in .claude/settings.json"
    - tool: "graphify"
      check: "command -v graphify && test -f graphify-out/graph.json"
      install_hint: "pip install graphifyy && graphify install, then build the graph: graphify . (produces graphify-out/graph.json). Optional - investigator falls back to grep -rn when absent."
```

> **Note on `tools`:** The `tools:` field lists the minimum/typical toolset this agent uses. Subagents inherit the parent's full toolset regardless of this list. Use additional tools (browser, WriteFile, Edit, etc.) as needed for the task. Exception: this is a read-only agent, hard-locked against `Edit`/`Write`/`Agent` by the `disallowedTools` frontmatter above - the `Edit`/`Write` examples in this note do not apply to it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/agent-investigator@sha256:766abaafde9bef8a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.c71496b, 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.
