validate SKILL.md skillA
validate from jovesun-lab/arcgram is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Run both Arcgram self-checks in one call. A thin wrapper over Checkpoint (structure) and Reconcile (values): validate(diagram,{code}) runs Checkpoint always and Reconcile when code is supplied, then merges into one source-tagged result in the same {findings,summary,attestation,clean} contract. clean = checkpoint.clean && reconcile.clean. Adds no new check; marks, never blocks. Run after authoring or editing a diagram and its code. Agent-neutral. The single door over its two siblings.
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 - the combined Arcgram self-check entry
One call. Two questions answered between the siblings:
**is the flow well-formed and coherent, AND do its `@spec` values still match the code?**
Validate is a **thin wrapper**, not a new check. It imports
[Checkpoint](../checkpoint/SKILL.md) and [Reconcile](../reconcile/SKILL.md) **untouched** and
composes their pure functions:
- **Checkpoint** (one input: the diagram) checks **structure** - well-formed, coherent.
- **Reconcile** (two inputs: diagram + code) checks **values** - `@spec` literals == code constants.
Run both -> the diagram is a faithful, current spec. Every finding still comes from one sibling;
Validate only **merges, source-tags, and unions the attestation**.
## Code is optional
| input | what runs | clean possible? |
|---|---|---|
| `validate(diagram, { code })` | Checkpoint **and** Reconcile | yes |
| `validate(diagram)` (no code) | Checkpoint only | no - values unchecked |
Without code there is nothing to reconcile, so Reconcile is **not run** (running it would just flag
every `@spec` pin as missing). Instead the value half is reported as one `uncovered`

How to install
mdr add jovesun-lab/arcgram/validate@sha256:134f64c2986f630bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260723.78f5e7a, 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.
