Read-only audit of an AI-driven software, research, benchmark, or data-production project that sorts its complexity into what the goal and trust chain actually require and what is accidental, speculative, control debt, or scale-induced, then outputs delete / merge / defer / keep / solidify decisions. Use when the user asks "is this complexity necessary", "audit my pipeline", says there are too many stages or they are babysitting the system, or asks whether to solidify the current system or go…
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
# Project complexity audit **What this is:** a diagnosis of which complexity in an AI-driven project is required by its goal and trust chain, and which comes from architecture choices, premature generalization, control-plane debt, or an urge to scale. The output is a set of delete and solidify decisions. It is not a design for a bigger platform. **Core principle:** justify complexity item by item; never defend the system as a whole. Prefer deleting, merging, doing it by hand, or deferring over adding abstractions. But never use "simplification" as cover for removing a trust boundary that protects a headline claim. Full rationale for the surrounding workflow: [MANUAL.md](https://github.com/cogito233/swarm-oversight-harness/blob/main/MANUAL.md). ## When to use Use it when any of these is true: - The system "runs", but someone has to stay on call for it. - Stages, queues, artifacts, and config keep growing. - The project has run for a long time, and most of the work now goes into maintaining it rather than producing conclusions or deliverables. - It is unclear whether a sandbox, verifier, judge, service, or middle layer is needed. …

How to install
mdr add cogito233/swarm-oversight-harness/swarm-complexity-audit@sha256:7377236af1f84d1dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.f870da2, 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.
