Use only for requests whose deliverable is a full research briefing, a STORM-style investigation, or an evidence review across multiple independent perspectives. The work compares competing evidence, maps contradictions and blind spots, and supports decisions, investments, negotiations, long-form writing, presentations, or learning a new domain.
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
# Storm Research Produce a grounded research briefing by establishing baseline facts, finding perspectives suggested by the sources, asking independent lens-specific questions, preserving disagreement, and auditing reliability and source quality. The multi-perspective research pattern is inspired by Stanford OVAL's [STORM](https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.14207), "Synthesis of Topic Outlines through Retrieval and Multi-perspective Question Asking." This skill is an independent research workflow, not a distribution of the STORM software. Material means capable of changing the answer, confidence, or next action. Read [references/lens-charter.md](references/lens-charter.md) before framing the research. Its research-depth guidance applies throughout the run; its isolation and return rules apply to each lens executor. Read [references/analysis-methods.md](references/analysis-methods.md) for the evidence checks that deepen questions and synthesis without dictating output sections. ## Workflow ### 1. Frame the target Resolve the research topic and create one self-contained **framed topic** with: - the question and requested deliverable; - the user's role or intended use; …

How to install
mdr add jrgilbertson/the-rookery/storm-research@sha256:ed8d8d39a48d6cb3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.0f1aef4, 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.
