RDR Show Skill

When This Skill Activates

• User says "show RDR 003", "RDR details", "what's in RDR 5"
• User invokes /nx:rdr-show
• User asks about a specific RDR's content or status

Behavior

1. Resolve RDR directory: Read from .nexus.yml indexing.rdr_paths[0]; default docs/rdr. Use the Step 0 snippet from the rdr-create skill, stored as RDR_DIR.

2. Determine RDR ID: From user's argument, or default to most recently modified RDR in $RDR_DIR/

3. Read the markdown file: $RDR_DIR/NNN-*.md

4. Read T2 metadata (if available): mcp__plugin_nx_nexus__memory_get(project="{repo}_rdr", title="NNN"

5. Read research findings (if available): mcp__plugin_nx_nexus__memory_get(project="{repo}_rdr", title="" and filter titles matching NNN-research-*

6. Catalog links (if catalog initialized): Search for this RDR in the catalog and display graph relationships:

   mcp__plugin_nx_nexus__catalog_search(query="<rdr-title>", content_type="rdr")
   

   If found, call: mcp__plugin_nx_nexus__catalog_links(tumbler="<tumbler>", depth=1) Display inbound and outbound links from the result. Skip silently if catalog not initialized.

7. Display unified view:

Output Format

## RDR NX-003: Semantic Search Pipeline

**Status:** Draft → **Type:** Feature → **Priority:** Medium
**Created:** 2026-02-23 | **Gated:** — | **Closed:** —

### Research Summary
- Verified (✅): 3 findings (2 source search, 1 spike)
- Documented (⚠️): 1 finding (1 docs only)
- Assumed (❓): 2 findings — ⚠ unresolved risks

### Linked Beads
- Epic: NX-abc12 "Semantic Search Pipeline" (open)
  - NX-def34 "Phase 1: Indexer" (in_progress)
  - NX-ghi56 "Phase 2: Query API" (open)

### Supersedes / Superseded By
(none)

### Catalog Links (from link graph)
- ← catalog.py (implements-heuristic, by index_hook)
- ← tumbler.py (implements-heuristic, by index_hook)
- → "Delos: Theory of Schema Mappings" (cites, by rdr-close)
(or: "No catalog entry — run `nx index rdr` to populate")

### Post-Mortem Drift Categories
(not closed yet)

7. If the RDR ID is not found, list available RDRs (delegate to /nx:rdr-list behavior).

Success Criteria

• RDR content displayed with correct metadata (Status, Type, Priority, dates)
• Research findings summarized by classification (Verified, Documented, Assumed)
• Linked beads shown with status (if epic_bead is set in T2)
• Supersedes/Superseded-by relationships displayed
• Catalog links displayed (if catalog initialized and RDR indexed)
• Fallback to /nx:rdr-list behavior if RDR ID not found

Agent-Specific PRODUCE

This skill produces outputs directly (no agent delegation). It is read-only and does not write to any storage tier:

• T3 knowledge: Not produced (read-only operation)
• T2 memory: Not produced (reads T2 records but does not write)
• T1 scratch: Not produced; may optionally use scratch tool: action="put", content="RDR NNN show details", tags="rdr,show" for capturing display snapshots during review sessions

Session Scratch (T1): Use scratch tool for ephemeral notes if the user is comparing multiple RDRs. Flagged items auto-promote to T2 at session end.

Notes

• This is a read-only skill. It does NOT modify any files or state.
• Research findings show both classification and verification method.
• Bead information comes from /beads:show for the linked epic bead (if epic_bead is set in T2).
