Judge whether a source can carry the weight you are about to put on it — trace it upstream to something primary, check its date and version, name who benefits if you believe it, test whether corroboration is actually independent, and cite it so a reader can reopen exactly what you read. Use before relying on a claim that changes a decision, when two sources disagree, when a number arrives without its method, or when writing citations. Not for running the overall investigation, and not for…
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
# Source evaluation A source is not good or bad in general. It is adequate or inadequate for the specific claim you want to rest on it, and the way to find out is to trace it, date it, and ask who wants it believed. ## When this fires A claim is about to be relied on, quoted, or cited. Also when sources conflict, when a number arrives without its method, or when a "widely reported" fact needs its origin found. It does not fire for facts you can verify directly in the workspace — read the file instead. ## Procedure 1. **Name what kind of source it is.** Primary is the thing itself: the specification, the source code, the release notes, the filing, the raw dataset, the first-hand account. Secondary reports on primary. Tertiary aggregates secondary. Write down which one you are holding. 2. **Walk upstream until you reach primary or a dead end.** Follow each citation to the thing it cites. Record where the trail stops. A trail ending at an uncited post means the claim is uncorroborated, however many places repeat it. 3. **Date it, twice** — when it was published and when it was last updated — and pin the version of …

How to install
mdr add nahid-sparktales/agent-dispatcher/source-evaluation@sha256:e2db966d1dc5b323The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.a0d4f55, 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.
