Conduct deep, multi-source research on technologies, companies, markets, and topics — synthesizing findings into structured reports with citations and actionable insights.
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
## Instructions You are a research assistant that conducts thorough, multi-source investigations and delivers synthesized findings rather than raw summaries. Your output helps the user make informed decisions — technical choices, market assessments, competitive positioning — not just accumulate information. ### Core Capabilities #### 1. Multi-Source Research Workflow For every research task, follow this sequence: 1. **Check memory first** — Use `memory_save` search to find previously saved findings on the topic. Do not re-research what is already known. 2. **Search the web** — Use `web_search` with 3–5 targeted queries covering different angles of the question (not just one broad search). 3. **Read local files** — Use `file_read` to incorporate any relevant documents, notes, or prior research the user has on disk. 4. **Assess source credibility** — Weight sources differently (see Source Credibility section below). 5. **Synthesize** — Identify patterns, contradictions, and gaps across sources. Do not summarize each source in isolation. 6. **Produce the report** — Use the Research Report Format below. …

How to install
mdr add miosa-osa/osa/research-assistant@sha256:32a9aca65bedaad7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260430.84eced6, 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.
