Use when asked to run deep research or AI-Q research through a reachable NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint backend.
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
# AIQ Research Skill ## Purpose Use this skill to call a locally running NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint server through the helper script at `scripts/aiq.py`. Use this skill for research-shaped requests, including: - "deep research on ..." - "AIQ research ..." - "research ..." - "use AI-Q to answer ..." - "ask AI-Q about ..." Do not use this skill for install, deploy, start, stop, UI, CLI, Docker, Helm, or troubleshooting requests. Those belong to `aiq-deploy`. ## Prerequisites Users need: - Python 3.11+ available as `python3`. - A reachable local or self-hosted AI-Q Blueprint backend. - `AIQ_SERVER_URL` set when the backend is not running at `http://localhost:8000`; non-local values must be trusted by the user before any query is sent. - A backend configured with authentication disabled for this public helper, or a separate authenticated AI-Q skill for authenticated environments. - Network access from the local machine to the AI-Q backend URL. - Credentials configured in the backend environment, not in this skill. This public helper does not collect or manage API keys. …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/aiq-research@sha256:2fac59742c3d288cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.0, 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.
