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
# Verification Gate ## Portable feature evidence Load the selected feature's policy provenance and open-marker count through the existing boundary adapter. Cite the exact policy passage and conflicting plan action for any verified policy violation. Report unresolved decisions and which tasks depend on them. Stable task completion needs parent verification tied to the current task-contract digest; a checkbox, model claim or historical manifest alone cannot prove completion. Retain result-to-task mappings through correction, cancellation and resume. ## The Iron Law <HARD-GATE> NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE </HARD-GATE> If you haven't run the verification command in this turn, you cannot claim it passes. ## The Gate Before claiming any success or expressing satisfaction: 1. **IDENTIFY** — What command proves this claim? 2. **RUN** — Execute the full command (fresh, not cached) 3. **READ** — Full output, check exit code, count failures 4. **VERIFY** — Does output actually confirm the claim? 5. **ONLY THEN** — State the claim WITH evidence Skip any step = the claim is unverified. ## Rationalization Table | Excuse | Reality | |--------|---------| …

How to install
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/skill-verification-gate@sha256:74a949a8d618f6f1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.5c257fc, 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.
