behavior-validator SKILL.md skillA

behavior-validator from openclaw/agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add openclaw/agent-skills/behavior-validator@git:20260701.2e86e90

Pins git:20260701.2e86e90 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Source-blind user behavior validation against a prewritten contract for apps, CLIs, APIs, and generated artifacts.

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

# Behavior Validator

Validate observable behavior without inspecting source. Use this as the black-box companion to code-aware review: `autoreview` judges the change bundle, while `behavior-validator` judges the running product, CLI, API, or generated artifact against a behavior contract.

## Contract

- Read the behavior contract first. If none exists, write a short one from the user request before testing. See `references/contract-template.md`.
- Stay source-blind. Do not inspect source files, diffs, tests, git history, implementation notes, build internals, or review bundles.
- Interact only through user-visible or operator-visible surfaces: browser, CLI, API, generated files, public logs, screenshots, accessibility trees, or documented runtime output.
- Treat implementation-looking evidence as contamination. If source access is required to continue, stop and report `blocked_source_required`.
- Report findings against contract clauses and observable steps, not code locations.
- Do not mark a workflow as passing until each relevant contract clause is pass, fail, blocked, or out of scope.

## Isolation

Prefer a source-blind workspace:

```sh

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add openclaw/agent-skills/behavior-validator@sha256:481904b1ffe66238

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260701.2e86e90, 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.
