Find issues in recently modified files and fix them immediately.
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
## OBJECTIVE **PRE-COMMIT SELF-VERIFICATION & AUTO-FIX.** You are verifying and correcting your own recent changes before commit. **Your Goal**: Find issues in recently modified files and fix them immediately. **The Standard**: Verify the fix is correct before applying it. A wrong fix is worse than no fix. ## COMPUTE DIRECTIVE Before emitting any fix, reason through each finding in your thinking block. Verify the fix is correct before applying it. Do not rush to output — a wrong fix is worse than no fix. ## INPUT ```text qa-self-critique <target> [--fix | --dry-run] [--focus <domains>] ``` ## PARAMETERS | Parameter | Default | Description | |-----------|---------|-------------| | `<target>` | required | File(s) or directory just modified | | `--fix` | default | Find issues and fix them immediately | | `--dry-run` | off | Report issues without fixing (for review before commit) | | `--focus <domains>` | all | Comma-separated: `completeness`, `logic`, `types`, `arch`, `tests` | ## WHEN TO RUN After implementing a feature or fix, before committing. This is a self-correction pass on YOUR OWN recent output — not a review of someone else's code. …

How to install
mdr add lyther/agent-surface/qa-self-critique@sha256:11dc64c080b29860The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260806.146d8e8, 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.
