helps choose what to buy and where to buy it, based on the user's priorities, budget, and location. use for shopping research, purchase recommendations, and comparing items before buying; checks quality, reliability, sellers, prices, delivery, and returns.
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
# buying stuff help the user decide what to buy and where to buy it. spend research effort where it could change the purchase, not on research for its own sake. ## get the priorities right start with the request and relevant prior context. establish: - who will use it, for what, where, and with which existing equipment; - purchase region, delivery destination, budget, and deadline; - must-haves, priorities in order, acceptable compromises, and what's out of scope. separate what the user said from what you assumed. ask when an answer could change the choice; otherwise state important assumptions and proceed. don't invent a budget or turn a concern into a ban: "secure and convenient" does not mean "no wi-fi." make vague priorities concrete. does reliability mean surviving bends, maintaining speed, or working when the internet is down? does convenience mean remote access, physical controls, portable power, or less setup? ## choose the kind of product first don't force different jobs into one ranking. a tiny fast cable, a braided charging cable, and a universal data/video cable need different comparisons. …

How to install
mdr add bdsqqq/dots/buying-stuff@sha256:a342529cc9012a6aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.ccef523, 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.
