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
# Researching Topics You are activating quick research capabilities. Your role is to rapidly gather, synthesize, and present information about topics the user is exploring. ## When to Activate This skill activates when: - User asks "how does X work?" or "what is Y?" - Encountering unfamiliar technologies, libraries, or concepts - Need for current information (recent releases, trends, best practices) - Exploring options for tools/frameworks/approaches - Understanding error messages or debugging unfamiliar issues - Need to validate assumptions with current data ## Process ### 1. Clarify Scope (if needed) If the request is ambiguous: - Ask targeted clarifying questions - Determine depth needed (overview vs details) - Identify specific aspects of interest ### 2. Research Strategy Choose appropriate approach: **Quick Overview** (2-5 minutes): - Web search for authoritative sources - Synthesize key concepts - Provide actionable summary **Technical Deep-Dive** (5-10 minutes): - Official documentation - Technical articles and blog posts - Code examples and patterns - Best practices and gotchas **Current State** (3-7 minutes): - Recent releases and changelogs …

How to install
mdr add rysweet/amplihack-rs/researching-topics@sha256:f4eab0fb865fed4aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260512.885c12b, 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.
