Systematic research workflow for documenting protocols, standards, or technologies.
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
# /protocol-research ## When to use When asked to research a protocol, standard, technology, or framework to understand its current state, features, community adoption, and implementation details. ## Steps 1. Identify the subject of research and gather initial information from official sources 2. Research key features, capabilities, and technical specifications 3. Investigate community adoption, governance structure, and ecosystem 4. Document SDK availability and implementation examples 5. Analyze development activity, release cadence, and future roadmap 6. Create comprehensive research document with structured sections 7. Run completion checks to verify all requested information is covered 8. Address any unresolved issues or missing information ## Examples - "Research the A2A protocol 1.0 and its current state" - "Investigate the current state of the OpenTelemetry specification" - "Document the latest developments in the WASM standard"

How to install
mdr add protolabsai/protoagent/protocol-research@sha256:70b6d0728edfe2acThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260811.efa4d71, 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.
