Classifies and enforces constraints via soft vows, hard vows, and Nen Court layers. Use when designing or auditing enforcement mechanisms for project rules.
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
> Rules that depend on willpower fail under pressure. > Enforcement earns trust by making the right path the > only path. # Vow Enforcement ## The Problem ODCV-Bench found that agents break self-imposed constraints 30-50% of the time when goals conflict. Practitioner consensus confirms: past 150 soft rules, compliance drops for ALL rules, not just the new ones. The core insight: "settings.json is a firewall; CLAUDE.md is an employee handbook." Handbooks work for guidance. Firewalls work for enforcement. Mixing them up creates a false sense of security. ## Three Enforcement Layers | Layer | Mechanism | Compliance | Examples | |-------|-----------|------------|---------| | **Soft Vow** | Skill instructions, CLAUDE.md rules | ~80% | "Write tests first", "Keep commits small" | | **Hard Vow** | Hooks (PreToolUse/PostToolUse), settings.json permissions | ~100% | Block `--no-verify`, enforce file size limits | | **Nen Court** | External validator agents checking output | Deterministic | Lint checks, test runs, constraint audits | **Soft Vows** rely on model compliance. Cheap to add and easy to iterate, but unreliable under goal conflict. Use when the constraint requires judgment, …

How to install
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/vow-enforcement@sha256:8ed5d16f55a6f6e2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.4a35d69, 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.
