Use when the user asks to validate, review, or check a GitHub issue against the code. Returns a cited update decision with a complexity score, or a cited close recommendation when the issue is already completed or invalid.
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
# validate-issue
Validate every current-behavior claim against code. Input: issue URL, `#N`, `N`, or `owner/repo#N`; else the issue named, validated, planned, or filed this session, else stop and ask. Never pick an issue from a list. `{ issue: <N>, targetBranch?: "<branch>" }` (or prose "target branch <name>") names the merge target, which replaces the default branch in step 0.
### 0. Baseline branch
No worktree for validation or issue edits. `REPO`: the repo a URL or `owner/repo#N` names, else the checkout's `origin`; pass `--repo "$REPO"` to every `gh` call, linked PRs included. If `origin` is another repo, trace `REPO` in a temporary clone outside this checkout; never cite another repo's code. `DEFAULT=$(gh repo view "$REPO" --json defaultBranchRef --jq .defaultBranchRef.name)`; a `targetBranch` is validated per `work-on-issue` step 1 ("Target"), replaces `DEFAULT`, and is named as the target in the verdict. No network (`gh` and remote checks fail): use the caller's baseline branch (target, else its resolved default), else `git symbolic-ref --short refs/remotes/origin/HEAD` minus `origin/`; accept it if `git rev-parse --verify "origin/$DEFAULT"` succeeds, naming each skipped

How to install
mdr add richkuo/rk-skills/validate-issue@sha256:b67c276e1657a7aeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.bc1e35d, 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.
