Guide a substantial evidence-led investigation, whether the requested result is already clear or the human needs to narrow a diffuse question, retain context across sessions, or make several decision-ready outputs. Do not use for ordinary repository delivery or a one-off factual answer.
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
# Investigation focus Deliver the human's requested result through a bounded investigation. Keep the inquiry broad enough to test that result against varied available sources. The human owns the direction, any inquiry home, and any action beyond investigation. ## Start or resume When the request already fixes a tangible result, audience or format, and usable sources, begin the investigation. Deliver the complete requested artifact at the authorized destination. Do not make selection of another outcome or inquiry home a prerequisite. Ask only for a choice that materially changes the result or is needed to proceed. Keep the first pass bounded by the request and available evidence; explain before expanding into materially different research or outputs. …

How to install
mdr add valsteen/pinboard/investigation-focus@sha256:1b7a724c4be3858bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.66822ff, 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.
