Research current best practices on a topic; store durable notes.

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 $ARGUMENTS with current web sources — the last token is the
project slug if it names a directory under `projects/`, the rest is
the topic. Purpose: inspiration and grounding for the principal's
artefacts — he does not want to reinvent what the world
has already solved. One research, one question: a topic that turns
out to be several questions becomes several notes, each answering
one — never one combined document.

1. Search for current best practices, established frameworks, and notable
   recent developments. Prefer primary and high-quality sources; note
   publication dates. Mark epistemic status: consensus vs. emerging vs.
   contested.
2. Write `research/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic-slug>.md` in the project (English,
   immutable): question, key findings with sources, options with
   trade-offs, and a short "relevance to this project" section with a
   concrete recommendation.
3. Index. Add an entry to `research/00-INDEX.md` in the
   shape of `templates/index.md` (create the index if missing); the
   ledger's Research table reads the note's front-matter, nobody
   writes a row. Remake the ledger, `python scripts/forge-ledger.py <slug>`.
4. Summarise for the principal,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pche-broken-artist/forge-of-thought/research@sha256:24bb6c64fff46775

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.2b9222e, 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.
