Use when applying findings from a plumb-line audit report — the builder has a report (or pasted findings) and wants the fixes made. Opt-in and separate from the audit, which is read-only and never fixes.

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

# Remediate plumb-line audit findings

REQUIRED READING FIRST: `reference/portable-principles.md` (plugin root).
If this file cannot be read, stop immediately and report: "Cannot remediate:
`reference/portable-principles.md` is missing or unreadable. Do not proceed from
memory — the principles file is the source of truth for what a fix must honor."

The audit finds; this skill fixes. The two never blur: remediation runs only on
an explicit invitation, consumes a report the audit produced (any
`report-format: v1`+; v4 is current), and applies nothing the builder has not
seen. If there is no report, offer to run `plumb-line-audit` first, or accept
findings pasted in the findings-table shape (Path / Line / Function / Status /
Issue / Suggested Fix / Principle; a v3 or earlier table has no Status).

**Validate the report before consuming it.** This skill acts on a contracted
input, so check the contract. The checker ships inside this plugin
(`<plugin root>/scripts/check_report_format.py`; `scripts/check_report_format.py`
inside the plumb-line repo):

```
python3 <plugin root>/scripts/check_report_format.py <the report>
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add slopstopper/plumb-line/plumb-line-remediate@sha256:7ee1c252908fc8c4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.667f035, 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.
