ALWAYS invoke this skill when the user asks about work done outside this session - "check work", "check the others", "check other sessions" - or to accept one: "the session is done, check it", "can we merge it" - in any language. You are the receiving party: treat the report as a claim, verify each part against machine state, name every gap between claimed and true. Verified-ready work merges in the same pass. End with what is left, one next step, and any reply another session needs, ready to…
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
# os-check-work You are the receiving party: another session says it finished, and your job is to find out whether that is true. Reports run optimistic - they are written by whoever did the work. Triggers live in the description above; one more is taking over work you did not do. ## Language Write in the language the user speaks in this session, detected from the conversation. Code, file names and identifiers stay English. ## The stance - A report is a claim by the party being assessed, and its adjectives are not measurements: "tests are green" vs the count that ran. Ask for the number. - "Done" is a snapshot. Reviews get revoked, branches fall behind and checks flip, often with no new commit. Re-read immediately before you act. ## Two modes Plural is a **sweep**: every sibling session, one line each, statuses only. Singular - "accept this", a named session or pull request - is an **accept**: full verification, then acceptance. A sweep that finds verified-ready work rolls into accepting it - the accept steps run first, never skipped. Where your tool cannot list other sessions, sweep the open pull requests instead (`gh pr list`) and say so. ## Sweep …

How to install
mdr add kharmanskyi/open-steps/os-check-work@sha256:1dfe6fe86aa96cfbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.7e255d1, 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.
