Use when the user asks to "check white bear", "audit prohibitions", "find negative framing", or invokes /white-bear. Read-only audit: unnecessary competing-target mentions in LLM-facing prose.
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
# White Bear Audit A semantic audit of LLM-facing prose for the White Bear authoring principle: keep attention on the necessary path — a mention of a competing non-target (a forbidden act, a superseded path, a rejected alternative) earns its place only when it is load-bearing. Read-only — it emits structured findings and writes no fixes. The human author decides which to rewrite, mark as load-bearing, or dismiss. ## Purpose Surface prose that holds the model's attention on an unnecessary competing target, before it ships. **Prohibition framing** names a forbidden act, **superseded-path mention** names a retired path, **negated anchoring** names a rejected alternative — each keeps the non-target available as a competing action candidate. This drift survives deterministic structural checks — it is a meaning-level pattern, so a semantic reviewer catches what literal pattern matching cannot. ## Inputs **Manual invocation only** (interactive `/white-bear`): - The caller passes target file paths or a glob; with no argument, the skill enumerates the in-scope set under the working tree HEAD. …

How to install
mdr add jongwony/epistemic-protocols/white-bear@sha256:45dae5139ab90504The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260805.2db8c6a, 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.
