Discover research/academic agent-skills from skills.sh (and user-supplied candidates), filter them through strict hard gates plus a strict academic-relevance gate, score survivors with a rubric, and hand back a ranked report with reasons. Use when the user wants to find, discover, or scout new academic/research skills to add to the hub, evaluate a skill they saw on social media, or refresh the discovery ledger.
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
# Discover Academic Skills A **discovery scout**, not an auto-collector. It surfaces candidate research skills with scores and reasons; **ingestion is always human-gated** (per [ADR 0001](../../docs/adr/0001-external-skill-intake-and-sync.md)). The scout never installs or vendors anything. - **Scope**: discovery + strict filtering + scoring of academic/research skills from the skills.sh registry and from candidates the user pastes (e.g. from social media). Anything the user accepts is later vendored **by hand** into [`collected-skills/`](../../collected-skills/index.md) via the normal intake. - **Inputs**: none required (runs a default academic query set); optional `--candidate owner/repo@skill`, `--queries`, `--min-installs`, `--include-seen`. - **Outputs**: a ranked Markdown report in `scratch/skill-discovery/` (gitignored), the top picks surfaced inline, and new rows appended to the committed [`discovery-ledger.md`](../../discovery-ledger.md). - **Limitations**: `npx skills find` is fuzzy and skills.sh coverage is partial; the strict relevance gate favours precision over recall (it *will* miss some …

How to install
mdr add pengqianhan/ai-human-research-os/discover-academic-skills@sha256:fc4156e6b92675f7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.38d79be, 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.
