Proactively researches any topic by searching, synthesizing, and presenting well-sourced information — without waiting to be asked. Triggered when the user asks about current events, wants in-depth learning, says "what's the latest on...", "research X for me", "find out about...", "give me a briefing on...", or when the task would benefit from up-to-date external information that might be beyond Claude's training cutoff. Also triggers mid-task proactively when live data, prices, specs, or…
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
# Auto Researcher Skill
## Core Behavior
Don't wait to be asked to search. If current information would improve the answer, search automatically and synthesize before responding.
## Research Process
### 1. Query Planning (do this before searching)
Break the topic into 3-5 targeted search queries:
- Start broad, then narrow
- Include date modifiers for recent info ("2025", "latest", "recent")
- Search for both facts AND expert opinions
- Search for counterarguments or limitations
### 2. Execute Searches
- Run multiple searches in parallel when possible
- Fetch full pages for key sources, not just snippets
- Prioritize: primary sources > reputable publications > secondary sources
- Note publication date of each source
### 3. Synthesis
Structure findings as:
- **Key Finding**: 1-sentence answer to the core question
- **Supporting Evidence**: 3-5 data points with sources
- **Conflicting Views**: Any disagreement among sources
- **Limitations**: What's unknown or uncertain
- **Further Reading**: 2-3 best sources for deep dive
### 4. Source Quality Tiers
- ✅ **High**: Peer-reviewed, official docs, primary data, major news outlets

How to install
mdr add tekkiiiii/the-agency/auto-researcher@sha256:92f2fd1824ddfb92The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260618.187a6a3, 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.
