Step of the research-competitors playbook: rules for run edge cases such as no browser, stalled workers, earlier reports and late reads. Run research-competitors instead; not for direct use.
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
# edge-cases - **No browser at all** (hosted chat, a scheduled run): use the server's free ad sample for tracked rivals (`gooseworks:ads_template_read`, mode `competitor`) and whatever fetch can read. Say once, in the report's "In short", what couldn't be read and what it means for the answer; the paid top-up for it is a decision in the closing message, never a question before the report. - **The browser waits on the founder's approval:** tell them in one line what it is for, move on with what you have, and list the page as couldn't-read. Never sit silent. - **A worker stalls** for more than a few minutes: say so in one line. **A worker is stopped:** keep everything it returned or wrote; never throw read work away. - **Facts from earlier saved research** (dates, figures, launches): re-check them, or mark them "from earlier research, not re-checked". - **A saved rival that isn't one** (a person's account, a namesake, a dead company): drop it, and name it in the report so the founder can fix the list. …

How to install
mdr add gooseworks-ai/goose-skills/research-competitors-edge-cases@sha256:81672d35afc242c3The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, 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.
