This skill should be used when a task's scope contract is approved and its criteria need grounding before design starts, for example "research this task", "find prior art", "check for an existing library", "look for a guide", "check this assumption", or "Phase 1". It fans out one small search per subject, records each search's findings in its own file, and checks that every criterion has a finding and every finding cites a criterion.
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
# Research Research finds out what is already true, so the design stage does not have to guess and does not have to look things up itself. It answers five questions, for each criterion that needs one: has someone built this already; are there guides or recipes covering it; do reputable sources recommend a way to do it; is an assumption the task leans on still true; and it hands the answers to the design stage in a form design can act on without looking again. Research does not decide. It reports what exists and what is true of it. Choosing between two usable options is design's work. Research does not read to the bottom of anything: a subject is never exhausted, so the criteria are what stop this stage, never the subject. Every finding names where it came from and when it was looked at. A finding with no source is not a finding, and the model's own recall is never the answer, only a lead worth confirming with one search. Every write below goes through `research-actions.sh`, or `playbook-actions.sh` for the playbook load, or the task skill's `decline-recipe` for a declined recipe, or scope's `set-tests` for the …

How to install
mdr add camoa/claude-skills/research@sha256:d4498ce237321cedThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.e2c6db6, 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.
