Find authoritative hyperlinks for people, organizations and entities mentioned in content, and recover dead URLs in archives through Wayback, the same entity's current site, Wikipedia or stripping. Use to find links, research URLs, gather references, or fix link rot.
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
# Link Research Gather accurate, authoritative hyperlinks for people, organizations, and entities mentioned in blog posts, articles, presentations, or any content that references external entities. ## Binding rules 1. **Verify; don't assume.** A matching domain name is not evidence. Confirm each link belongs to the entity, and confirm the context of a common or ambiguous name before giving a final link. 2. **Follow the priority order.** People: personal site, institutional profile, LinkedIn, other social. Organizations: official site, primary social presence, authoritative third-party profile. 3. **Deliver HTML anchors** grouped as People and Organizations; when no link is found, say so and suggest an alternative. 4. **Replace a dead URL in order:** the Wayback copy, the same entity's current URL (only when continuity is verified), Wikipedia for a general concept, else strip the link and note "(no longer online)". 5. **An empty Wayback API answer under load is not proof of no archive.** Pace queries and confirm with the URL-form fallback. …

How to install
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-link-research@sha256:40ed690f51e1951eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
