Standalone skill for validating an explicit assumption with structured research. Use when a user holds a belief that is still an assumption — a technical claim, a library's behavior, a "this is probably how X works" — and wants it investigated methodically before it leaks into planning or code. Recommends a research methodology (non-binding) and returns an evidence-backed, graded verdict (Confirmed / Refuted / Inconclusive). Trigger on "structured-research", "validate this assumption…
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
# Structured Research Validate an explicit assumption against evidence before it becomes a planning input. Take the "thing the user still treats as an assumption", frame it as a falsifiable question, research it with a chosen methodology, and return a **graded, evidence-backed verdict** with a **non-binding recommendation** the maintainer may adopt, adapt, or replace. **Core principle:** An assumption is not evidence. Evidence is not a verdict. A verdict is advisory, not a decree. **Violating the letter of this process is violating the spirit of structured research.** ## When to Use Trigger when: - A belief is still an assumption — "I think X works this way", "this library probably supports Y", "Z is the fast path" - An assumption is about to enter planning/development unvalidated and the cost of being wrong is real - The user says "validate this", "is it true that…", "research whether…", "verify my assumption" Do NOT use: - To generate or explore ideas (→ `pocket-pitching` / `pocket-grinding` — those diverge, this validates) - To fix a known defect (→ `bug-hunting`) - When the claim is already settled and just needs implementing (→ `hotfix`) …

How to install
mdr add rfxlamia/pocketto/structured-research@sha256:4497e38c91cb37dcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260605.62bf899, 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.
