gsd-core-hooks SKILL.md skillA

gsd-core-hooks from the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

A full PreToolUse/PostToolUse hook suite that machine-enforces a project's workflow rules instead of leaving them as prose — a passing test-runner verdict bound to the exact commit sha before push, no local `node --test`, Memtrace evidence required on a PR approval, no-defer artifact gating for long directives, and a family of guards against harness poll/timeout false-negatives (backgrounded dispatch, foreground poll-loop kills, self-matching pgrep waits, unpinned bench contention…

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

# gsd-core-hooks

> A rule an agent can read once and forget is not enforced — it's remembered, which is a different thing.

## What this is

The `.claude/hooks/` directory from one real project (gsd-core), lifted wholesale. Every file here
exists because a specific incident happened first and the hook was written afterward to close the
gap — the header comment on each script names the incident, the date, and the exact failure mode.
This is not a designed-in-advance framework; it is a project's actual scar tissue, in installable
form.

It backs the rules stated in [`../commands/`](../commands/) (`bug-fixer.md`, `feature-builder.md`,
`triage-review.md`, `test.md`) — those files say things like "gsd-test MUST exit 0 before any git
push" and "NEVER run `node --test` locally"; the hooks in this folder are what make those true
regardless of whether the agent remembers reading them.

## The three failure classes it guards against

1. **Self-attestation.** "I ran the tests" / "the review passed" is cheap to claim and expensive to
   check by hand. `pre-pr-gate.sh` + `record-gsd-verdict.sh` bind a push/PR action to a machine-read
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer/gsd-core-hooks@sha256:f0ef27776087eccb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.2095d70, 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.
