GitHub research subagent for Pi that uses gh workflows to find and cite relevant repo files before implementation.
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
# Pi-librarian
## Purpose
GitHub research subagent for Pi that uses gh workflows to find and cite relevant repo files before implementation.
## Routing
- Use when: Use when users ask to research external GitHub repositories, compare implementation patterns, or gather cited repo evidence before coding.
- Do not use when: Do not use for local-workspace-only discovery or when GitHub access is unnecessary; use pi-finder-subagent instead.
- Outputs: A cited GitHub research report in {artifactDir}/librarian-report.md plus an actionable summary in {artifactDir}/librarian-summary.md.
- Success criteria: Librarian returns concrete repositories, file paths with citations, and clear unknowns/access limits that guide implementation decisions.
## Trigger Examples
### Positive
- Use the pi-librarian skill for this request.
- Help me with pi-librarian.
- Use when users ask to research external GitHub repositories, compare implementation patterns, or gather cited repo evidence before coding.
- Pi-librarian: provide an actionable result.
### Negative
- Do not use for local-workspace-only discovery or when GitHub access is unnecessary; use pi-finder-subagent instead.

How to install
mdr add cowork-os/cowork-os/pi-librarian@sha256:fd4e333ae62e6093The 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.
