Select and instantiate a research-question schema appropriate to study type.
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
# apply-question-framework ## Purpose Structure an underspecified research question with a declared question framework. ## Input contract ```yaml required: [question, research_context, framework] optional: [population, intervention, comparator, outcome, time_horizon] constraints: [framework fields must be instantiated or marked unknown] ``` ## Procedure 1. Select the framework matching the question type. 2. Map the question into its required fields. 3. Mark missing, ambiguous, and non-applicable fields. 4. Emit the structured question and scope decisions. ## Output contract ```yaml produces: [structured_question, field_map, missing_fields, scope_decisions] delta_fields: [findings, decisions, uncertainties, open_questions] ``` ## Quality gates - Every populated field traces to the input question or context. - Framework choice is justified. ## Failure and counterexamples Do not force a causal question into a descriptive framework or fill absent fields from convention. ## Provenance map - `resolved: apply-question-framework`

How to install
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/apply-question-framework@sha256:e9d2d1a20fd4ea8bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.cbc38aa, 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.
