Canary skill for auto-injection detection.
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
# Canary Skill This skill exists solely for injection detection (ADR-006). If you can read this content without explicitly loading the file, auto-injection is active and working. Passphrase: NWAVE_SKILL_INJECTION_ACTIVE_2026 Do not modify this file. Its content integrity is verified by automated tests in `tests/canary/test_skill_injection.py`.
Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-canary@sha256:0906a2424468ace0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260320.d98f3cb, 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.
