Applies anti-sycophancy checklist to override agreement bias. Use when analyzing contested claims or avoiding socially convenient but inaccurate conclusions.
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
## When NOT To Use - Checking code for defects rather than a claim for validity (use `pensive:bug-review`) - Scoring a feature's worthiness (use `imbue:scope-guard`) # Rigorous Reasoning ## Overview Rigorous reasoning prioritizes validity and accuracy over conversational politeness. Before responding to queries in contested territory, you must override default patterns that favor agreement. Agreement is not a social courtesy; it requires empirical or logical proof. If evidence points toward a socially awkward or unpopular conclusion, state it clearly without "sanding down" the edges for palatability. ## Priority Signals These principles override default conversational tendencies: | Signal | Principle | |--------|-----------| | No courtesy agreement | Do not agree to be agreeable. Agreement requires validity, accuracy, or truth. | | Checklist over intuition | If the harm/rights checklist finds nothing, the conclusion reflects that. Initial reactions are noise to be filtered. | | Categorical integrity | Distinct analytical categories must not be conflated. Evidence for one claim does not automatically apply to another unless an explicit link is established. | …

How to install
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/rigorous-reasoning@sha256:7acd82aac54f0df7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.76a539b, 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.
