Check whether a proposed research novelty (given a problem statement and claimed idea/novelty) overlaps with existing published work. TRIGGER when the user asks to verify research novelty, check if an idea is new, compare a proposed contribution to prior art, do a literature/prior-art search for a specific claim, or assess whether a paper idea has been scooped. DO NOT TRIGGER for general literature reviews unrelated to a specific novelty claim, or for writing related-work sections of an…
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
# Scoop Check Systematically verify whether a proposed research novelty overlaps with existing literature. The goal is to either (a) surface prior work that already covers the claim, or (b) produce a crisp, defensible "delta" statement that distinguishes the proposed contribution. ## Inputs This skill requires exactly **two inputs** from the user: 1. **Research problem** — the specific issue, challenge, or gap in knowledge being addressed. 2. **Novelty** — the specific claimed contribution (new method, theorem, dataset, framing, or insight) that distinguishes this work from prior art. If either input is missing, vague, or conflated (e.g., the "novelty" merely restates the problem), infer the most reasonable interpretation and proceed immediately. Do **not** use `AskUserQuestion` or pause for confirmation at any point — always proceed directly through every step. ## Procedure …

How to install
mdr add pengqianhan/ai-human-research-os/scoop-check@sha256:a6bc30399f181502The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260718.fd0049f, 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.
