This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
game-research-websearch from rehan-remade/universal-modder is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Research a game, engine or modding technique on the open web with archive-aware, rate-limit-safe searches — Wayback Machine/archive.today for dead forums (XeNTaX, Zenhax, old threads), GitHub code/repo search, Nexus/Steam Workshop/Thunderstore APIs, Reddit JSON, YouTube transcripts, plus archive snapshots as evidence. Use when starting work on a game ("how did people mod X before?"), when a documented tool/link is dead, when forum threads are login-gated (semi-auto handoff to the human), and…
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
# Game research: web search that survives dead forums Modding knowledge lives on forums that died in 2020, in Discord channels nobody can fetch anonymously, and on pages that move. This skill makes searching for it systematic: archive first, live sources second, screenshots as evidence, and an explicit handoff when a page needs the human's login. Search engines are the index, not the source — every conclusion gets a real URL behind it. ## Never fetched - Leaked code, SDKs or builds; pirated games, ROMs or ISOs; keygens or license keys; cracked exes; DRM or anti-cheat bypass tools. Don't fetch, link or paste them. What others learned from a leak can go in the journal in your own words, with where it came from (CONTRIBUTING.md). - Forum attachments, archived downloads and file-host mirrors. Read the posts; install tools only from their official repo or releases, with the human's OK (`skills/mod-any-game/references/safety.md`). ## Core loop 0. `um kb search "<game>"` — check the knowledge base and field notes first, as AGENTS.md says. 1. Form 3-5 query variants (see *Query formulation*). 2. Search live sources (GitHub, Nexus APIs, Reddit, YouTube). …

How to install
mdr add rehan-remade/universal-modder/game-research-websearch@sha256:2259f0f516d79fa3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.6c02e77, 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.
