Deep web research with multi-source verification.

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

# Web Research

When performing web research:
1. Search broad first, then narrow by entity
2. Fetch actual page content, not just snippets
3. Cross-reference at least 2 sources before stating facts
4. Extract specific data points: names, numbers, dates, comparisons
5. Never state information you cannot verify from the fetched content
6. For comparisons: create structured tables with consistent attributes
7. Always note the source URL for key facts

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add taracodlabs/aiden/web_research@sha256:274b51aedd575643

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
