Organize, format, and index research as OKF-conformant knowledge bundles — dated, sourced, append-only snapshots of the external evidence behind a decision (technology evaluations, library comparisons, industry-practice surveys). Use when recording research output, structuring a docs/research/ session, enforcing source discipline (primary sources, vendor-COI flags, inference-vs-fact labels, confidence levels), or wiring the research → decision → issue traceable chain. Pairs with deep-research…
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 Artifacts Research records the external evidence behind a decision: technology evaluations, library comparisons, industry-practice surveys. Research is **dated, sourced, and append-only** — a snapshot of what the evidence said at a point in time, not a living opinion. This skill defines how research is *organized, formatted, and indexed*. The `deep-research` skill defines how it is *gathered and cross-verified*; `living-docs` owns the decisions and issues it feeds. The three compose. Research artifacts are **OKF concepts** — see the `okf-knowledge-format` skill for the frontmatter/reserved-file rules applied here. --- ## Using this skill (progressive disclosure) This SKILL.md is a **slim stub** — a trigger plus a task->topic router. The `living-docs` CLI holds the full research rules, source discipline, structure and traceable chain, and discloses them progressively. **Before authoring anything, load the topic for your task:** - `living-docs guide --list` — discover every topic. - `living-docs guide <topic> --skill research-artifacts` — load that topic. …

How to install
mdr add ejklock/living-docs-skill/research-artifacts@sha256:7ca80f0bfdad36aeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.25.3, 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.
