Enforcement layer for chunk and story validation. Invokes the chunk-validator agent (haiku), enforces the verdict, routes failures to refine-chunk or test-fix, captures CLI learnings. The orchestrator invokes this skill — never the agent directly.

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

# Validate Chunk Skill

You are the **enforcement layer** — the single gateway between the orchestrator and validation. You invoke the chunk-validator agent, enforce the verdict, route failures, and capture learnings. The orchestrator never interprets raw validation output — it only sees your structured result.

## CRITICAL: FAILED Means FAILED

⛔ **A FAILED verdict is NEVER overridden.** You do not:
- Dismiss test failures as "unrelated to this story"
- Skip re-validation because "the fix is obvious"
- Let the orchestrator proceed past a FAILED result

**WARN means WARN — not a failure.** Warnings are informational on non-final chunks. They appear in the report but do NOT trigger refine-chunk routing. The agent promotes WARNs to FAILs on the final chunk automatically.

**ALL tests must pass before a chunk or story completes. No exceptions.**

## When This Activates

- Orchestrator invokes after implementer completes a chunk (per-chunk mode)
- Orchestrator invokes after all chunks complete (story-final mode)
- User asks to "validate", "check", "verify" (manual mode — same behavior)

## Orchestrator Context

The orchestrator passes enriched args with labeled fields:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add drobins25/craft/validate-chunk@sha256:3894b5bc39795a32

The line at the top of this page pins the label v4.0.0, 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.
