self-correction-loop from rlaope/ultraprompt is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add rlaope/ultraprompt/self-correction-loop@git:20260915.a5ced99Pins git:20260915.a5ced99 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Invoke when an implementation attempt produces a failure signal (test failure, compile error, wrong output, crash, perf regression) and you must decide whether to retry, rethink, or back out — instead of hammering the same fix.
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
# Self-Correction Loop > Status: v0.1 baseline draft — derived from the case catalog and axis definitions; awaiting trace evidence from Fable 5.1 case runs. ## When to apply - A test, build, benchmark, or runtime check just failed after a change you made. - You are about to re-run the same command after a fix and are not sure the fix addresses the *cause*, only the *message*. - You notice you have edited the same file or function more than twice for the same failing check. - Output is wrong but there is no error at all (silent bug: wrong numbers, flaky pass, loss not decreasing). - A fix made one check pass but broke a different one — the failure moved instead of dying. - You are inside an autonomous loop (CI bot, harness runner) and need explicit termination and escalation rules. ## Core loop 1. **Capture the signal verbatim before touching code.** Copy the exact error text, failing assertion, expected-vs-actual diff, or metric delta into working notes. Never work from a paraphrase of the failure — the paraphrase deletes the clue. 2. **Classify the failure into one of three tiers:** | Tier | Name | Definition | Typical evidence | …

How to install
mdr add rlaope/ultraprompt/self-correction-loop@sha256:5a7d677d8f94ff8bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.a5ced99, 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.
