Selects optimal sources for tool calls, balancing accuracy with token cost. Use before research tasks or when deciding whether a claim needs verification.
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
# Smart Sourcing Intelligent sourcing that requires citations only when the cost is justified by the value of verification. ## Philosophy **Full sourcing is prohibitively expensive** (10-16x token increase). Smart sourcing targets high-value claims where verification materially improves accuracy. ## When to Source ### REQUIRE Sources | Claim Type | Example | Why Source | |------------|---------|------------| | **Version numbers** | "Python 3.12 added..." | Versions change, easy to verify | | **Performance claims** | "30% faster than..." | Quantitative claims need evidence | | **Security recommendations** | "Use bcrypt for..." | Security advice must be current | | **API specifications** | "The function accepts..." | APIs change between versions | | **Release dates** | "Released in Q4 2025" | Factual, verifiable | | **Pricing/limits** | "Free tier allows 1000 requests" | Business terms change | | **Deprecated features** | "X was removed in version Y" | Breaking changes need verification | ### DO NOT Require Sources | Claim Type | Example | Why No Source | |------------|---------|---------------| | **General concepts** | "Async improves concurrency" | Foundational knowledge | …

How to install
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/smart-sourcing@sha256:10d9db322dafc37bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260622.c7c8f6f, 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.
