Build a source-backed research brief with labeled claims, contradictions, and explicit limits.
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
# Rig Research > Read [Evidence rules](../../references/evidence.md). > This workflow reads and cites. It never changes product code; a change that follows from the research goes to `rig-plan`. ## Modes | Mode | Use it for | Required output | | -- | -- | -- | | `docs` | API contracts, configuration, and migration behavior | Answer per question with version and retrieval date | | `sota` | Compare approaches, libraries, or designs before choosing one | Criteria table, weighted trade-offs, recommendation | | `paper` | Analyze a paper's method, data, metrics, and threats | Claim table, method summary, reproduction cost | | `code-fidelity` | Check whether an implementation matches its paper or spec | Claim-to-code map with missing and divergent items | ## Workflow 1. **Frame the decision.** Write the question the research must answer and the decision it informs. A brief that does not change a decision is not worth the run. 2. **Start the run.** `rig_evidence` with `action: "start"`, `skill: "rig-research"`, and the paths the answer will affect. …

How to install
mdr add borda/ai-rig/Rig Research@sha256:4702276146bbb10fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.8c1ba9d, 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.
