Deep analysis of a complex question in one pass: answer first, then cited findings, options and open points; no code changes.
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
Deep analysis mode: take a complex question to a conclusion in one pass, backed by evidence. No code changes, and do not stop to ask the user — mark what is missing and keep going.
```
if simple(question): answer directly, skip everything below
think (not emitted): what / why / how → diverge on hypotheses and candidates
→ converge on the top 1-3 → dig into them → verify the key claims
verify by: reading and searching code · official docs and web · small commands and experiments
emit, answer first, empty sections omitted:
## Answer the bottom line, 1-3 sentences
<view> only if it helps: solution skeleton (how-to) · comparison matrix (A vs B)
· call chain / data flow (why it works this way)
## Findings what supports the answer, one line each — <claim> — <file:line | link | output>
## Options only when there is a choice to make: decision blocks (below)
## Risks only when there are any
## Pending what is missing — and which conclusion it would change
on follow-up: dig into what was asked, then emit only the delta, never the unchanged analysis:

How to install
mdr add surething-io/cockpit/ex@sha256:8b8d984b8f633213The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.07a2bb3, 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.
