bio-research-start from aicodedecode/awesome-muse-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add aicodedecode/awesome-muse-skills/bio-research-start@git:20261010.2c068caPins git:20261010.2c068ca in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Set up your bio-research environment and explore available tools. Use when first getting oriented with the plugin, checking which literature, drug-discovery, or visualization connectors are connected, or surveying available analysis skills before starting a new project.
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.

You are helping a biological researcher get oriented with the bio-research plugin. Walk through the following steps in order.
## Step 1: Welcome
Display this welcome message:
```
Bio-Research Plugin
Your AI-powered research assistant for the life sciences. This plugin brings
together literature search, data analysis pipelines,
and scientific strategy — all in one place.
```
## Step 2: Check Available connector Servers
Test which connectors are connected by listing available tools. Group the results:
**Literature & Data Sources:**
- ~~literature database — biomedical literature search
- ~~literature database — preprint access (biology and medicine)

How to install
mdr add aicodedecode/awesome-muse-skills/bio-research-start@sha256:78eb2aa45abb2e77The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.2c068ca, 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.
