Use at the end of a feature, or when a hook, rule or skill did not work as expected, to find harness problems from this session and fix the ones the user approves.
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
# Improve the harness <!-- Collect: the agent checks the session against the symptoms file, adds what the user asked to fix, and keeps only the problems that will come back. --> ## 1. Collect Find harness problems in this session from three sources: - Symptoms: read `references/symptoms.md` and note every symptom that happened in this session, for example a hook that did not run or an instruction that was ignored. - User requests: everything the user corrected in chat or asked to fix in the harness. - Code review findings that a lint rule or a project rule could have caught. Do not write a log; the session already holds these signals. Keep only problems likely to repeat in the next feature. Drop one-offs and matters of taste. <!-- Ask: the agent explains each problem in plain words and lets the user decide whether and how to fix it. --> ## 2. Ask Sort by how often the problem repeated in this session, broken harness before missing rules. Ask about four at most, in one `AskUserQuestion` call. List the rest in one line each under "Not fixed this time". Each problem is one question. The question text is one to three connected …

How to install
mdr add dvasyliev/claude-code-tip-calculator/improve-harness@sha256:ac906f9b68950db2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.131ba1d, 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.
