Use when detecting drift between CLAUDE.md (or AGENTS.md, the Codex CLI alias) / _meta narrative and live repository state. Ten checks: absolute-path resolution, 01-projects/ count claims, issue-reference freshness, session-file existence, command-count sync, session-config-parity (mandatory template keys = error, opt-in gaps = note, unknown local keys = warning), vault-dir-parity (CLAUDE.md vs AGENTS.md), generated-rule-staleness (WARN-only), rule-scoping…

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

# CLAUDE.md Drift-Check Skill

> The instruction file is alias-resolved per
> [`skills/_shared/instruction-file-resolution.md`](../_shared/instruction-file-resolution.md):
> `CLAUDE.md` (Claude Code / Cursor IDE) wins ties; `AGENTS.md` (Codex CLI) is
> picked up as a transparent alias when `CLAUDE.md` is absent. The resolved
> path and kind are surfaced in the JSON output (`resolved_path`,
> `resolved_kind`).

## Status

PHASE 1 IMPLEMENTED (2026-04-19). Session-end opt-in quality gate. Upstream of `/close` commit preparation, downstream of `vault-sync`.

## Why this exists

`CLAUDE.md` is narrative SSOT for a repo's Session Config and project context. It decays quickly when surrounding state changes — paths get renamed, project counts shift, issues close, session files get pruned in digests. The drift-cluster closed by agents/vault#57 (3 items in one sweep) was the 4th incidence of the `issue-description-drift-stale-filecount` learning. Manual curation does not scale; this skill turns drift detection into a repeatable gate.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kanevry/session-orchestrator/claude-md-drift-check@sha256:9368219572f92fb5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.728a583, 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.
