A research-first method for writing articles that beat what already ranks in Google and get cited by AI answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews). Use it whenever someone wants to plan, brief, write, outline, review, audit or improve a blog post, listicle, comparison ("X vs Y"), alternatives article, FAQ or review, wants to know how to research competitors for a keyword, how to pick which competing pages to learn from, how to brief a writer or an AI, or how to judge whether an article is…
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
# The research-first article method A way of producing an article that is better than the pages already ranking for its topic, written so a person and an AI answer engine both trust it. An agent can run it end to end with web search, a person can apply it by hand, and either can use it to brief a writer or check an article. The method rests on one idea: **an article earns its place by giving more than what already ranks, and proving it.** Everything below serves that: look at what really ranks (not what you imagine ranks), find what those pages miss, plan to cover the essentials and the gap, write only what can be backed, and have it judged before anyone publishes. ## Principles (and why they matter) 1. **Research real pages, never imagined ones.** Asking a model to "simulate the top 10 results" produces plausible fiction. Search in the reader's own country and language, open the pages, and read them. This is the difference between this method and most AI writing tools. …

How to install
mdr add jayanti-prajapati/research-first-writer/research-first-writer@sha256:7550f02ebed24839The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.e3f3a6a, 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.
