Autonomous deep-research loop: iterative investigation, externalized state, convergence detection, fresh context per pass.

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

> Canonical source: `.skilled/skills/system-deep-loop/deep-research/`. This is a generated markdown-only copy so Hermes can load the

# Autonomous Deep Research Loop

Note: `Task` is allowed for the command executor that manages the loop. The `@deep-research` agent itself is LEAF-only and does not dispatch sub-agents.

Iterative research protocol with fresh context per iteration, externalized state, and convergence detection for deep technical investigation.

Runtime path resolution: OpenCode/Copilot runtime uses `.opencode/agents/*.md`; Claude runtime uses `.claude/agents/*.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add michelkerkmeester/skilled-agent-harness_spec-driven-loops/deep-research@sha256:1bc2282270a15412

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.15.7.0, 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.
