Use when the user asks for a literature review, academic deep dive, research report, state-of-the-art survey, topic scoping, comparative analysis of methods/papers, grant background, or any request that needs multi-source scholarly evidence with citations. Also trigger proactively when a user question clearly requires academic grounding (e.g. "what's known about X", "compare approach A vs B in the literature", "summarize the field of Y"). Runs an 8-phase (Phase 0..7), script-driven research…

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

# Scholar Deep Research

End-to-end academic research workflow that turns a question into a cited, structured report. Built for depth: multi-source federation, transparent ranking, citation chasing, and a mandatory self-critique pass before the report ships.

## When to use

**Explicit triggers:** "literature review", "research report", "state of the art", "survey the field", "what's known about X", "deep research on Y", "systematic review", "scoping review", "compare papers on Z".

**Proactive triggers (use without being asked):**

- User asks a factual question whose honest answer is "it depends on the literature"
- User frames a research plan and needs the background section
- User is drafting a paper intro/related-work and hasn't yet scoped prior work
- User proposes a method and asks whether it's novel

**Do not use when:** a single known paper answers the question, the user wants a tutorial (not a survey), or they're debugging code.

## Guiding principles

1. **Scripts over vibes.** Every search, dedupe, rank, and export step runs through a script in `scripts/`. The same input should produce the same output. Do not improvise ranking or counting by eye.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add agents365-ai/365-skills/scholar-deep-research@sha256:4945b04760a4ef4c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.72ee04b, 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.
