researching-on-the-internet SKILL.md skillA
researching-on-the-internet from ed3dai/ed3d-plugins is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add ed3dai/ed3d-plugins/researching-on-the-internet@git:20260616.eb1d79cPins git:20260616.eb1d79c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when planning features and need current API docs, library patterns, or external knowledge; when testing hypotheses about technology choices or claims; when verifying assumptions before design decisions - gathers well-sourced, current information from the internet to inform technical decisions.
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
# Researching on the Internet
## Overview
Gather accurate, current, well-sourced information from the internet to inform planning and design decisions. Test hypotheses, verify claims, and find authoritative sources for APIs, libraries, and best practices.
## When to Use
**Use for:**
- Finding current API documentation before integration design
- Testing hypotheses ("Is library X faster than Y?", "Does approach Z work with version N?")
- Verifying technical claims or assumptions
- Researching library comparison and alternatives
- Finding best practices and current community consensus
**Don't use for:**
- Information already in codebase (use codebase search)
- General knowledge within Claude's training (just answer directly)
- Project-specific conventions (check CLAUDE.md)
## Core Research Workflow
**Do not use nested subagents.** If you are running as a research subagent, perform the research directly with web/search/fetch tools already available to you. Do not dispatch or invoke additional subagents.
1. **Define question clearly** - specific beats vague
2. **Search official sources first** - docs, release notes, changelogs

How to install
mdr add ed3dai/ed3d-plugins/researching-on-the-internet@sha256:23cf113189830cbcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260616.eb1d79c, 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.
