In-depth research with web search and structured output. Triggers: "research this", "look into this library", "investigate how X works", "compare these options", "best practices for", "deep dive into", "study this technology".
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
# $cf-research
Research in depth: **$ARGUMENTS**
## Purpose
Deep research on a topic (repo, library, architecture, technology). Save structured markdown to `docs/research/` so later skills (e.g. `$cf-plan`) can reference it. Unlike `$cf-plan`, this skill does **not** plan or implement — it only researches and documents findings.
## Folder
Output: `{docsDir}/research/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>/` (default `docs/research/`). `<slug>` is kebab-case from the topic (e.g. `2026-07-05-react-server-components`); use today's date. Check `.coding-friend/config.json` for a custom `docsDir`.
## Workflow
### Step 0: Custom Guide
```!
bash "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/load-custom-guide.sh" cf-research
```
If the block above printed anything, apply only the `## Before`, `## Rules`, and `## After` sections; if it shows the raw command instead of output, re-run that exact `load-custom-guide.sh` fence now.
### Step 0.5: Context Budget Check
Research is token-heavy (web fetches + parallel subagents):
- Context > 50%: limit Step 4 parts to 2–3
- Pass file paths to subagents; do not embed full content
- Context > 70%: warn the user and suggest a fresh session
### Choose Mode
Confirm with the user:

How to install
mdr add dinhanhthi/coding-friend/cf-research@sha256:c34b7ed9d188c691The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.3159673, 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.
