Research uncertain questions with an explicit, user-approved web search or ChatGPT consultation, then present options and wait for implementation approval.
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.

# Auto-Research Skill ## Overview When implementing tasks, Claude Code can encounter uncertainties — design choices, algorithm details, API usage, or best practices. This skill provides an explicit-consent research path, presents findings, and waits for user approval before writing code. The skill supports web research and an optional ChatGPT consultation. It never sends conversation context, files, browser state, or credentials to a third party without the user's explicit approval of the exact, redacted text. ## When to Use This Skill - User asks a question where multiple valid approaches exist - Claude is uncertain about algorithm details or API usage - Design/architecture choices need comparison - The user explicitly asks to search the web or consult ChatGPT and approves the proposed query ## How It Works **Step 1: Propose the research boundary** — State the source to use, the exact query or redacted prompt, whether any local/workspace text would leave the machine, and the likely cost. Wait for the user to approve that exact boundary. **Step 2: Research** — After approval, use web search or a browser session the user has …

How to install
mdr add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/auto-research@sha256:657d4845d62cd4a5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260714.e3d12ce, 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.
