mast skillA
mast is agent-read markdown (skill) from habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers: Use when reading or authoring a self-declared pact — carries the two modes, the clear-weather rule and the exact blind spot of the check that enforces it, the flag discipline for a budget whose keys are mostly unobservable, the rules the pact writer guarantees, and the anti-patterns that would turn a pact-keeper into a gate.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

That is why the pact file exists, and why nothing scaffolds one: an imposed default is not a pact. But a pact nobody reads is also not a pact, and a pact nobody has authored is not one either. > **The Mast** — the pact-keeper. It brings a pact into existence, and reads it > back to you. **What it attacks:** outsourced governance — the drift where the decision about when to stop migrates from a person who decided it in advance to a person who is tired and mid-thought. It never stops anything itself. ## Two modes | Mode | Does | | --- | --- | | `/mast` | recites the pact and says where you stand against it | | `/mast tune` | the only sanctioned path that authors or amends it | Boundary notices, the hard stop, and the override record are **not here** — they are a separate slice. What lives here is the gauge and the ritual. ## Recite first, measure second <!-- evidence: the intervention is the re-reading. A pact's force comes from …
