generate-candidate-directions SKILL.md skillA
generate-candidate-directions from yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/generate-candidate-directions@git:20260923.cbc38aaPins git:20260923.cbc38aa in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Generate diverse candidate research fields/subfields consistent with current context while permitting deliberate boundary-crossing.
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
# generate-candidate-directions ## Purpose Generate diverse candidate research fields or subfields consistent with context while permitting deliberate boundary crossing. ## Input contract ```yaml required: [research_intent, scope_anchor] optional: [seed_evidence, actor_profile, constraints, neighboring_domains] constraints: [each candidate must state fit, boundary crossing, and evidence needs] ``` ## Procedure 1. Extract the problem mechanism, outcome, and scope anchor. 2. Generate candidates within the anchor and from adjacent domains. 3. Record the transfer or boundary-crossing rationale for each candidate. 4. Remove duplicates while preserving materially different mechanisms. If candidate fields are diverse enough for comparative characterization, consider `synthesize-field-panorama` as the next tactic. ## Output contract ```yaml produces: [candidate_directions, fit_rationales, boundary_crossings, evidence_questions] delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, uncertainties, open_questions, recommended_jumps] ``` ## Quality gates - Candidates are distinct by mechanism or evidence opportunity. - Speculative candidates are labeled as such. …

How to install
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/generate-candidate-directions@sha256:d16ff21871bf3864The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.cbc38aa, 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.
