Tactic: Read one paper by Keshav''s three-pass method — a shallow skim, a contribution-grasping full read, then a deep virtual re-implementation. Use when the goal is understanding a paper rather than extracting a fixed schema.
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
# Keshav Three-Pass
Read one paper in three passes of increasing depth. The outputs accumulate as
prose rather than fixed fields; use a different tactic when cross-paper
alignment matters more than understanding.
## Orchestration Pattern
1. Call `paper-fetch` with `paper_ref`. Stop on `not_found`. Create
`context/papers/<dir>/keshav-three-pass/` on success.
2. Call `first-pass-skim` with `source_path` and `meta_path`. Write
`01-first-pass-skim.md`, recording `read_deeper` in frontmatter.
3. If `read_deeper` is false, stop by default. Continue only on explicit
caller override and record `gate_overridden: true`.
4. Call `second-pass-grasp` with the paths and `skim_notes`; write
`02-second-pass-grasp.md`.
5. Call `third-pass-deep-read` with the paths and `grasp_summary`; write
`03-third-pass-deep-read.md`.
Do not collapse pass 3 into a recap of pass 2. It must surface implicit
assumptions, virtual re-implementation mismatches, and concrete improvements.

How to install
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/keshav-three-pass@sha256:682a039743dd106eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
