Compress the goal structure and intentionality into a specific, ambitious, achievable one-sentence research North Star.
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
# crystallize-north-star ## Purpose Compress a validated goal structure into one specific, ambitious, achievable research North Star. ## Input contract ```yaml required: [goal_tree, constraints, intended_effect] optional: [feasibility_annotations, actor_profile, evidence_context] constraints: [the statement must preserve the declared outcome and limiting constraints] ``` ## Procedure 1. Identify the highest-value outcome and the mechanism or capability it should change. 2. Remove branch detail that does not distinguish the intended direction. 3. Draft one sentence with outcome, scope, and constraint boundaries. 4. Check traceability back to the goal tree and record unresolved tension. ## Output contract ```yaml produces: [north_star_statement, research_brief, traceability_map, unresolved_tensions] delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, decisions, uncertainties, open_questions] ``` ## Quality gates - The statement is testable and scoped. - Every essential term traces to a goal or constraint. ## Failure and counterexamples Do not turn a slogan into a North Star or omit constraints merely to make the sentence aspirational. ## Provenance map …

How to install
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/crystallize-north-star@sha256:150f6674db751008The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.cbc38aa, 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.
