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.
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
# The Mast A limit you set for yourself in advance holds. A limit you set in the moment you are about to breach it does not — you will simply move it, because the thing you want at 18:00 is to keep working. 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 …

How to install
mdr add habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers/mast@sha256:5f4114fd725ab9f6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.d1a0964, 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.
