6-phase investigation workflow for understanding existing systems. Normally executed as a sub-recipe by dev-orchestrator/smart-orchestrator. Supports direct invocation via recipe runner for standalone use.

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

# Investigation Workflow Skill

## Relationship to Dev Orchestrator

**Normal execution path**: This workflow is invoked as a sub-recipe by the
`dev-orchestrator` skill via `smart-orchestrator`. You do NOT normally need
to activate this skill directly.

```
User request → dev-orchestrator → smart-orchestrator recipe
    → investigation-workflow recipe (this skill's recipe)
```

**Direct invocation** is supported as a compatibility path when the
dev-orchestrator is unavailable or when explicitly requested. In that case,
use the recipe runner (see Execution Instructions below).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rysweet/amplihack-rs/investigation-workflow@sha256:c956d9610b82102f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
