Launch a Scout research session as a background process. Goes outward — discovers new information about KB entities via web search, docs, and APIs, then integrates findings.
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
Launch a SCOUT research session as a background process on this machine. Do the following steps: 1. Run `nohup bash ~/Scout/run-research.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &` to launch the research session in the background. Capture the PID. 2. Find the most recent log file: `ls -t ~/Scout/.scout-logs/research-*.log | head -1` 3. Report to the user: - Confirm the research session is running and show the PID - Show the log file path so they can tail it if they want: `tail -f <log_file>` - Remind them that research sessions typically take 10-15 minutes and cover: selecting research targets from the queue and KB entities, deep web research, knowledge integration into entity files, and a Slack summary DM when done.

How to install
mdr add raven-scout/scout-plugin/scout-research@sha256:53c89bcf636af856The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.1f304bf, 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.
