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

# Research brief

Use this to research one organisation and write what you found as a short brief.

1. Find pages with web_search when you do not know where to look, and read them with web_fetch. A search result is a lead, not a source. Note the address you fetched, its title and what it says. A page you did not fetch is not a source.
2. Cite every fact to the address of the page it came from, in the brief and in the chat. A fact with no fetched page behind it is left out, not softened.
3. A fetch can fail: an error, a blocked page, a page with no text. Say so in one line in the brief's open questions, with the address, and go on to another source. Fetch the same address again at most once.
4. When sources disagree, give both figures and name each source. Never pick one silently.
5. Numbers carry their unit and their period or date. A figure without either is left out.
6. Write `brief.md` in the workspace:
   - a title and a summary of three sentences;
   - short sections: What it does; Size and structure; People; Recent news; Open questions (what you could not confirm, and where you looked);
   - under 500 words, plain sentences, nothing that sells.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add parcha-ai/agentrun/research-brief@sha256:788f344db6104190

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.f9b962d, 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.
