research SKILL.md skillA
research from darknecrocities/skillbuilder is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add darknecrocities/skillbuilder/research@git:20261025.ea2b348Pins git:20261025.ea2b348 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Autonomous deep researcher and fallback engine. Evaluates trade-offs and discovers production-grade alternatives when dependencies fail or libraries are deprecated.
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
# Autonomous Deep Research & Alternatives (`/research`)
> **Philosophy**: *Never get blocked. When an approach, library, or API fails, pivot systematically to tested, production-grade alternatives.*
This skill guides agents and engineers through autonomous deep research, competitive benchmarking, compatibility validation, and zero-downtime dependency alternatives.
---
## 1. The Fallback & Alternative Decision Framework
When a package fails to install, exhibits breaking bugs, lacks critical features, or fails verification, execute the **4-Step Autonomous Pivot**:

How to install
mdr add darknecrocities/skillbuilder/research@sha256:09827ebc504bb466The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.ea2b348, 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.
