Report the model-led explore band at high, xhigh, or max, and the discovery parameters it describes.
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.

It names a *direction*, not a number: there is no per-rung count and no summon is capped. Behavioral evidence is not available to this band yet — it changes the breadth of relevance-ranked results, not behavior-aware composition, and no Hell stamp gate is running. ## What this output is Reference data.

Choosing Ultra or Hell does not settle a later call: each one is judged again, on its own merits, at the time it is made. ## Discovery, if the gap is real If a real capability gap is in front of you and a call fits the request and the …

mdr add gaia-research/gaia-skill-heaven/skill-hell@sha256:6c3f8ca598037764The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.4b2ccc3, 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.
