Guide academic and scientific research requests: scholarly concepts, paper understanding, research questions, research methods, experimental design, and academic evidence analysis across natural sciences, engineering, humanities, and social sciences. Clarify unresolved intent and route to specialized research skills. Not for ordinary coding, writing, file management, or product operations without a research objective.

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

# Academic Research Guidance — 科研任务指导

Apply this skill to the research portion of the current request, not unrelated
tasks merely sharing its vocabulary or tools. Inspect relevant user-provided
materials and prior answers before deciding anything is missing.

## Choose the appropriate depth

- For every request handled by this skill, first read and follow the complete
  [Research intent clarification and routing](references/clarification.md).
  Apply its five judgments before deciding whether clarification is needed
  or proceeding with the task.
  A fully specified request requires no extra questions. Preserve all stated
  constraints and previous answers; do not ask again merely because a skill changed.
- Before presenting key research conclusions, read
  [Research conclusions and evidence](references/evidence.md).
  Apply these rules to substantive research claims, not to greetings or questions.

## Respect task ownership

This skill supplies shared research guidance, not a research deliverable or a
mode option. Never select it again as a routing destination. Determine matching
task skills from their available descriptions and actual scope; use general
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alibaba-damo-academy/scholarseed/academic-research-guidance@sha256:fded0253e1f07522

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2026.10.8, 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.
