Understand hard boundaries on the user's research — target venues, methodology.
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
# Ask Constraints Identify non-negotiable constraints. ## Execution Dialogue — inline, no subagent. ## What to Ask About (one at a time) - Target venue/journal (if any) - Methodology preferences (empirical? theoretical? both?) - Areas to explicitly avoid - Advisor/team hard requirements - Ethical/legal constraints ## Key Behavior Not limited to ML/AI. Works for any research domain. Some users have no constraints — that's a valid answer. ## Output Constraints section of ActorProfile.

How to install
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/ask-constraints@sha256:f6b0a0b9a48d9fcdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260615.7a62936, 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.
