Investigate a question against high-trust primary sources and capture the findings as a Markdown file in the repo. Use when the user wants a topic researched, docs or API facts gathered, or reading legwork delegated to a background agent. NOT for decisions the user must make, one-call lookups, or any code changes.
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
# Delegated Research
Spin up a **background agent** to do the research, so you keep working while it reads.
Its job:
1. Investigate the question against **primary sources** — official docs, source code, specs, first-party APIs — not a secondary write-up of them. Follow every claim back to the source that owns it.
2. Write the findings to a single Markdown file, citing each claim's source.
3. Save it where the repo already keeps such notes; match the existing convention, and if there is none, put it somewhere sensible and say where.
## Invocation
Ask for it directly, e.g.:
/delegated-research What rate limits does the GitHub REST API apply to our token class?
Optional: name the output path. Default = wherever the repo keeps research notes
(look for `docs/`, `notes/`, `research/`); if no convention exists, pick a sensible
location and state where the file landed.
## Example
Prompt: `What rate limits does the GitHub REST API apply to our token class?`
Result: a background agent reads the developer docs (primary pages, not blog posts),
writes `research/github-rest-rate-limits.md`, and footnotes every claim to the doc page
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add ninjasln-labs/agent-skills/delegated-research@sha256:21fdd0dc6473b814The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
