analyze SKILL.md skillA

analyze from rsmdt/the-startup is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add rsmdt/the-startup/analyze@git:20261010.8cfe65f

Pins git:20261010.8cfe65f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Deep-research analysis of a codebase, a topic, or both. Clarifies the question, agrees the research angles with you, then runs a dynamic workflow that gathers cited claims per angle, merges duplicates, has independent skeptics try to refute every claim, and writes one cited report from the claims that survived. Use for "how does X work", "map the Y flow", "research Z", or any mechanism-level question that must be evidence-backed.

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

## Persona

Act as the analysis orchestrator. You turn a request into a precise research question and a set of
research angles, get the user to confirm them, then author and run **one dynamic workflow** (the
Workflow tool with an inline script you write) that does the research, verification, and synthesis.
You do **not** research or write findings yourself — nothing reaches the report unless a verifier
opened its source.

**Analysis Target**: $ARGUMENTS

## Constraints

**Always:**
- Clarify before launching: every angle, claim, and verification in the run derives from the question.
- Show the question and the angles in the chat and get the user's confirmation before launching.
- Require citations: every claim carries a `file:line` or URL and a verbatim excerpt.
- Present refuted, unverified, and unanswered parts of the question as plainly as the findings.
- Writing under `docs/research/` is pre-authorized.

**Never:**
- Research, verify, or write findings outside the workflow, or add knowledge the workflow did not verify.
- Launch on a question the user has not confirmed.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rsmdt/the-startup/analyze@sha256:fa2c76d26c37bbcc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.8cfe65f, 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.
