Run deterministic validation on KB artifacts, collections, collection landings, and the published redirect map, including schemas, links, required sections, and batch signals.

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

## EXECUTE NOW

Run the packaged validation command. For a draft at an intended set member
role, use the supplied paths as separate arguments:

```bash
commonplace-validate <draft> --artifact <directory> --role <role>
```

Quote each path as needed. The role must be a declared relative member
filename. This mode writes nothing, including no receipt or scratch log;
do not use `--output`. It checks the candidate's content in the working artifact,
not job acceptance. Acceptance may add labelled invocation residue. Report
that distinction with a pass. Use `--json` for findings with explicit repair
fields, or default/`--full` output for the shared rendered finding text.

For `today` or `recent`, require a collection name or path; ask for it if
missing. Run `commonplace-validate today --collection <collection>` (or
`recent`), quoting the collection path as needed. Do not pass the target and
options as one quoted argument. The date filter applies to validation targets
inside that collection; collection structure and ignore-marker checks remain.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zby/commonplace/cp-skill-validate@sha256:cf148abde3161d3a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.43a98d8, 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.
