Use when a question needs investigating and the answer will be acted on — "research X", "look into whether Y", "find out how Z works", "is this worth doing", "compare these options", a benchmark someone will quote, or a claim that has to survive being challenged. Produces a dated record where every finding carries how it is known — measured, read, inferred, or unverified — plus a self-contained HTML view. Not for locating code (that is explore-codebase), tracing one symptom (debug-issue), or judging a diff (review-changes); reach for this when the output is a set of findings someone else will rely on.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
Files
This is the generic copy. If this project has been scaffolded, prefer the unprefixed
evidence-first-researchskill: it is.ai-badger/skills/evidence-first-research/SKILL.md, and it has this project's extensions and anyproject-local.mdmerged in. This copy has neither.The full procedure is in
SKILL.full.mdbeside this file, unchanged — read it if the project has no.ai-badger/, or runwelcome-ai-badgerto scaffold one.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
