starting a new research campaign, entering a new Claude Code session on a research repo, or when unsure which methodology.

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

# crucible-navigator — Research campaign orientation

> **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If the routing guidance is wrong (wrong skill invoked for a user intent), fix the description's TRIGGERS list and the routing table below. Append reason to `references/evolution-log.md`. Don't defer.

## What this skill does

You are orienting an agent to research methodology. Route the agent to the right sub-skill based on what kind of research task is at hand. The four sub-skills cover epistemics (A), execution (B), decisions (C), and archive (D).

## Routing table — map user intent to skill

| User intent signal                                                                                       | Route to                      |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| "Is this finding real?", "check significance", "shuffled null", "causal feature", "label leakage"        | `a-research-foundations`      |
| "Test a hypothesis", "sweep parameters", "multi-agent analysis", "gate validation", "per-trade analysis" | `b-investigation-methodology` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/crucible-navigator@sha256:a5a1e94c91ed285b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.b542227, 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.
