Use when the user asks for researched, sourced, evidence-backed, or current findings, especially for a recommendation or factual brief. Do not use for a single-page summary, ordinary codebase inspection, review of an existing technical post, or decision pressure-testing when the request already supplies all evidence.
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-brief Research is hard to audit when links appear only after the answer is drafted. This skill keeps the question, sources, claims, conflicts, and support check visible from the first search through the final brief. **Core principle:** acquire evidence before synthesis, map each factual claim to the material that supports or contradicts it, and leave gaps visible. **Read-only.** Do not mutate a repository, publish, message anyone, or promote findings into memory. Those actions require a separate request. This skill does not require a particular service, provider, model, runtime, citation style, or manuscript format. ## Procedure 1. **Scope the question before searching.** Restate: - the research question; - the decision boundary, including what choice or factual conclusion the brief may inform; - the freshness requirement, including relevant dates or versions; - the stop condition, such as enough direct evidence for each material claim, a time limit, a source limit, or a named unresolved gap. …

How to install
mdr add escoffier-labs/skillet/research-brief@sha256:dea02e418930544bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
