Three ranked open research programs for this repo, each with honest current-state evidence, first concrete steps, and a falsifiable milestone. Verified governance (ADR-069, proposed), cross-harness abstraction (ADR-072 proposed, ADR-068 accepted), and the self-improving loop (issue #1345). Use when you say `research frontier`, `open problems`, `what should we research next`. Do NOT use for how to run an experiment here (use `ai-agents-research-methodology`).

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

# AI Agents Research Frontier

<!-- vendor-portability: contributor-facing knowledge pack for the rjmurillo/ai-agents repo itself; intentionally references upstream paths (.agents/, .claude/, scripts/, build/) because its audience is repo contributors, not plugin consumers (issue #2050) -->
Open problems where this repository can advance the state of the art, ranked in
owner-confirmed priority order. This skill tells you WHAT is worth working on and
what "done" would look like. It does not teach experiment discipline (that is
`ai-agents-research-methodology`) and it is not the portability battle plan
(that is `ai-agents-portability-campaign`).

Honesty contract for this document: every asset claim below was re-verified
against the working tree on 2026-07-30. Anything labeled PROPOSED is not policy.
Anything labeled UNVERIFIED could not be confirmed and must be checked before you
build on it.

## Triggers

- `research frontier`
- `open problems`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add rjmurillo/ai-agents/ai-agents-research-frontier@sha256:fd2cfe0e02c85217

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.
