Research before you build: cited multi-source research, spec interviews, cross-model review, literature reviews, competitive and trend analysis, and large-document or large-codebase ingestion. Use when the user wants options compared, prior art found, a spec defined, or something too big summarized.
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
# $ccc-research — research, routed **CC Commander** · $ccc-research · a cited answer, a comparison or a spec before any code is written. Research sub-skills (`deep-research`, `spec-interview`, `cross-model-review`, `literature-review`, `competitive-analysis`, `data-ingestion`, `trend-analysis`, `large-context`) ship with the Commander CLI toolkit. Invoke one with the Skill tool when it is listed in this session; otherwise apply the method in [references/routing.md](references/routing.md). The user's selected model is preserved. Codex: ask pickers as plain-text questions, run parallel lanes as separate `codex exec` calls, and write the report to a file. ## When to use / when not to - Use before a non-trivial build, for "which library/tool/vendor", "what are the trends in X", "interview me for a spec", "review this decision from several angles", or an input too large to read in one pass. - Use `$ccc-brainstorm` for open-ended ideation, `$ccc-debate` for a structured for/against verdict on one decision, `$ccc-plan` once the spec exists, `$ccc-data` for data pipelines and analytics. ## What happens ### 1. Route by intent, or ask …

How to install
mdr add kevinzai/commander/ccc-research@sha256:fef6d9a621320f44The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.fbe187d, 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.
