drift-detection SKILL.md skillA
drift-detection from corvinlabs/corvinos is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add corvinlabs/corvinos/drift-detection@git:20260915.459047ePins git:20260915.459047e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use periodically (weekly, at release candidates, before major version bumps) to scan a codebase for cumulative drift that no per-commit gate catches. Complements docs-as-definition-of-done, which prevents drift from being introduced per commit; this skill surfaces drift that already happened despite per-commit gates.
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
# Drift-Detection ## Overview **Drift is divergence on a timescale longer than one work session.** Twenty individually-reasonable commits can compose into a system whose mental model no longer matches the code. Per-commit gates (`docs-as-definition-of-done`) cannot catch it because no single commit violates a rule — the violation is the **cumulative pattern**. **Core principle:** drift accumulates silently. Detecting it requires a periodic full-system scan, not per-edit vigilance. The scan produces a finite list of drift indicators; each becomes a candidate for immediate fix or a `method-evolution` step. See [`../../docs/ldd/convergence.md`](../../docs/ldd/convergence.md) §4 for the drift taxonomy. ## When to Use Invoke on a **periodic cadence**, not per-commit: - Weekly on active projects (bundled with release-candidate review) - Before a major version bump or breaking-API release - After onboarding/offboarding a contributor (someone leaves; check for orphaned mental models) - After a long sprint of many small commits in one area - Before a documentation overhaul (know what's wrong before you rewrite) - After a refactor that touched >20 files Do **not** use: …

How to install
mdr add corvinlabs/corvinos/drift-detection@sha256:01c6f96aba331609The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.459047e, 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.
