Have a fresh agent walk through something with zero context (a PR body, a landing page, a document, a process, instructions, or code) and report what's broken, confusing, or contradictory. Useful before anything ships, especially a PR you think is finished or any user-facing artifact. Always dispatch it as a fresh subagent with no conversation history; the missing context is the point.

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

# Cold Read

You've never seen this before. It's 8am and you're groggy. Walk through it
from start to finish.

Report:

- what's broken, confusing, or contradictory
- what could be said more simply
- what you'd need to know and don't: the what, why, how, when, and where

Be thorough about the gaps in what you know.

Leave the fixes to the author; you don't have the context to choose them.
Describe what you experienced as someone going through it for the first time.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add greenfield-inc/pane/cold-read@sha256:8528047a7a9a5719

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.8f96a6a, 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.
