Gather EVIDENCE from the live Flow surface — DOM, network, HAR — before claiming a feature is broken, missing, or impossible. The first layer of investigation for any "X does not work on Y" question, and the only thing that can settle one.

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

# `spike` — measure the blackbox before you describe it

gflow-cli drives a product it does not own. Every statement about what Flow does is
either **measured** or **guessed**, and a guess written into code or docs becomes a
fact nobody re-checks.

**Load this skill before you write, say, or encode any of these:**

- "X is not supported / not available / not rendered on this host"
- "this surface is labs-only" · "the migrated host cannot do X"
- "the selector is gone" · "Flow removed it"
- a `raise_if_migrated`-style guard, a capability table, or a KNOWN_ISSUES entry
  asserting an absence
- an issue reply telling a user a feature cannot work

## The rule this exists to enforce

```
A SELECTOR THAT DOES NOT MATCH IS EVIDENCE ABOUT THE SELECTOR.
IT IS NEVER EVIDENCE ABOUT THE FEATURE.
```

A wait that times out tells you your anchor missed. It tells you nothing about whether
the thing exists. To claim absence you need a **positive observation of absence** — a
DOM inventory that lists what IS there, a network log that shows what was and was not
called. "It timed out" is not that.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ffroliva/gflow-cli/spike@sha256:348f3aca21fec96e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
