Deep-research skill combining iterative depth, structured+validated output, rigor mechanisms, anti-thrash, and pi-native hooks for general deep research. REQUIRED — read the full skill file first (iterative-depth protocol with rigor scripts); run verify_citations and source_evaluator on your output before claiming done. When NOT to use: codebase-specific questions (use read-only-explorer); post-implementation audit (use iterative-audit).
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 > Field-distilled agentic deep-research skill — synthesized from 4 real implementations (Deep-Research-skills iterative loop, x-research typed tooling + cost transparency, pi-autoresearch state-on-disk + LOOP FOREVER + hooks, Geek rigor mechanisms + citation verification + tension discovery). **Topic flavor with software-style operational scripts** (F13 wired INTO the Agentic Protocol, never orphaned). Designed for **general** deep research (not platform-specific). > > Stance: this is a **research methodology**, not a database. It runs the loop — classify → research → validate → synthesize → finalize — over arbitrary topics. Each step has explicit gates (citation verifier, source evaluator, tension probe, batch_size gate) and recurses only when the evidence is thin. ## Relationship to distill-persona / distill-software - **Inherits** from `distill-persona/SKILL.md`: the 6-phase flow, Phase 2.6 V1–V4 verification, F2' third-category rule, exhaustive-sweep + 3-empty-rounds gate, ship-gate contract. …

How to install
mdr add baphuongna/pi-crew/research@sha256:27f9a291115915f0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.c97bc57, 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.
