Evaluates whether a repository meets marketplace listing criteria via a 5-point check and outputs a listing suitability verdict. Checks README completeness, zero-config readiness, maintenance signals, duplication, and public safety.
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
# marketplace-gate — Marketplace Listing Suitability Gate
Evaluates a repository against 5 listing criteria — README completeness, zero-config readiness, maintenance signals, duplication, and public safety — and outputs a listing suitability verdict.
> While `asset-placement-gate` answers "is this asset suitable for FH?",
> `marketplace-gate` answers "is this repo ready to be listed in a marketplace?"
## Triggers
- `/marketplace-gate`
- `/marketplace-gate --target <repo path>`
- "Can I list this in the marketplace?", "Pre-listing repo check", "Verify before publishing", "Is this ready for marketplace listing?"
- "Can other teams use this repo?", "Is there a checklist before external distribution?", "Check if this is ready to be public"
- "Review for open-source release", "Verify before sharing outside the team"
---
## Step 0. Confirm Target Path
Use the path specified by `--target <path>` if provided. Otherwise use current cwd.
```bash
REPO_PATH="${ARGUMENTS#--target }"
REPO_PATH="${REPO_PATH:-$(pwd)}"
echo "Target: $REPO_PATH"
ls "$REPO_PATH" 2>/dev/null | head -20 || echo "Path not found — please verify the path"
```
Stop immediately if path is not found.

How to install
mdr add chrono-meta/forge-harness/marketplace-gate@sha256:6b34989157264ae0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260811.52c0a42, 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.
