Produce a research report from the vault: scope the question against existing pages, name the gaps, and write findings with citations, disagreements and limits. Use this skill when the user asks for a research report, a deep write-up on a topic, or wants to understand a subject thoroughly using what they have collected. Do NOT use for a quick answer from the vault, for drafting an article in the user's voice, or for summarising a single source.
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
# Write a research report A report that presents only findings looks stronger and is less useful, because the reader cannot tell where it is load-bearing and where it is thin. ## Core rule Scope against the vault first. Most of the work in a good report is knowing what you do not need to look up. ## Workflow 1. **Inventory what exists.** Which pages cover this, what is thin, what is missing entirely. That answer is the research plan. 2. **Report the gaps before writing,** so the user can decide whether to ingest more first. 3. **Write from pages, citing pages.** Every claim traces to a source page with a URL behind it. 4. **Record disagreement** where sources conflict, with dates and who says what. 5. **State what could not be established** and what evidence would change the conclusion. 6. **Save to `output/`** and offer to ingest it back as a source. ## Output format ``` ## Question ## What the vault covers (with [[page]] citations) ## Where sources disagree ## What I could not establish ## What would change this ## Pages read: <list> ``` ## Calibration If the vault covers less than half the question, say so at the top rather than …

How to install
mdr add undefined-ui/second-brain-os/second-brain-report@sha256:d2be627e99843f87The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.1615b29, 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.
