Generate a complete topic: research → lesson → post-process → verify. Fans out subagents for research and verification. Trigger: generate topic, generate lesson, complete topic, full generation.

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

# Generate Topic

Orchestrates the full lesson generation pipeline for one topic. Ensures every downstream step (jargon, quiz, reference, SVG theming, verification) actually happens — not just the lesson writing.

## When to use

- Generating a new topic from a MAP.md
- "Completing" an existing topic that's missing artifacts (run against it to fill gaps)
- Any time you want the full pipeline, not just a quick lesson draft

## Input

- A workspace path (e.g., `library/oidc-rust`)
- A topic slug from the workspace's MAP.md (e.g., `token-validation-middleware`)
- The topic's prereqs should already be complete

## The Pipeline (4 Phases)

### Phase 1: Research (PARALLEL — fan out 2-4 subagents)

Dispatch simultaneously:

| Agent | Task | Output |
|-------|------|--------|
| Domain research | Web search for topic concepts, key facts, 3+ sources | `.scratch/research/{slug}.md` |
| Workspace context | Read MAP.md, existing lessons, RESOURCES.md — what's taught, what prereqs cover, avoid repetition | `.scratch/research/{slug}-context.md` |
| Source verification | Check top URLs from RESOURCES.md are live, extract key claims relevant to this topic | `.scratch/research/{slug}-sources.md` |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add smileynet/teach-me/generate-topic@sha256:87b9da938d895b21

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.d17fe10, 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.
