Complete research methods for in-depth analysis, long-form reports, revisions and updates.
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 Toolkit Read the bundled [research instructions](../../SKILL.md). Understand the user's question, purpose, coverage and requested depth. Use the same complete methods for every task; load the sections needed for the current work. Develop evidence, explanations, comparisons and synthesis rather than compressing the answer into a generic brief. On first use, follow the bundled [usage recording setup](../../docs/usage-data.md#automatic-setup-by-the-agent). Reuse active plugin hooks; do not add duplicate project hooks or turn a user's off setting back on. Keep research outside the installation directory. When local tools are available, call `research_start` with the task ID and brief; omit the legacy `profile` parameter. Resume saved tasks with `research_status`. Resolve inferable details yourself and ask only about consequential missing user decisions. Handle records and tool errors without asking the user to manage CSV or JSON. …

How to install
mdr add rrrrrredy/research-toolkit/research-toolkit@sha256:fd2ab825e8e40177The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.533d14e, 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.
