Use when an agent must classify a task as research, code, or hybrid, calibrate process depth, select the smallest sufficient route across the Humanities and Engineering cores, handle failed gates, and preserve a resumable workflow.
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
# Using Humanities Superpowers ## Purpose Act as the orchestration layer for Humanities Superpowers. Diagnose the current research state, select the smallest sufficient skill sequence, enforce dependencies, interpret gate results, and preserve a resumable record of unresolved work. This skill is not a generic planner and not an autonomous paper-writing agent. It coordinates scholarly operations while keeping the researcher's decisions, source limits, and responsibility visible. ## When to use Use this skill: - at the beginning of a humanities research, manuscript, review, or submission task; - when several substantive skills may apply; - when the user asks for an end-to-end workflow; - when the current research stage is unclear; - after a gate returns `CONDITIONAL PASS` or `FAIL`; - when work must resume from an earlier session; - when a user asks whether a manuscript is ready, complete, publishable, or submission-ready; - when the agent must decide whether to proceed, pause, roll back, or request a researcher decision. …

How to install
mdr add icerain-cmd/humanities-superpowers/using-humanities-superpowers@sha256:f331ef34758feb0fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.0, 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.
