Use when a question needs investigating and the answer will be acted on — "research X", "look into whether Y", "find out how Z works", "is this worth doing", "compare these options", a benchmark someone will quote, or a claim that has to survive being challenged. Produces a dated record where every finding carries how it is known — measured, read, inferred, or unverified — plus a self-contained HTML view. Not for locating code (that is explore-codebase), tracing one symptom (debug-issue), or…
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
> **This is the generic copy.** If this project has been scaffolded, prefer the unprefixed > `evidence-first-research` skill: it is `.ai-badger/skills/evidence-first-research/SKILL.md`, and it has this project's > extensions and any `project-local.md` merged in. This copy has neither. > > The full procedure is in `SKILL.full.md` beside this file, unchanged — read it if the project has no > `.ai-badger/`, or run `welcome-ai-badger` to scaffold one.

How to install
mdr add arasz/ai-badger/evidence-first-research@sha256:5e2e0e5a65d59181The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
