Stress-test a plan, decision, or idea as a dependency-aware design tree. Use for grill-me requests, assumption audits, and decision clarification before implementation.
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
# Grilling
Mode: decision clarification before action.
Treat `$ARGUMENTS` as the root decision. Build a compact design tree whose
nodes are unresolved user decisions and whose edges are prerequisites. The
current frontier is every unresolved node whose prerequisites are settled.
The runtime creates a typed `grill_state` before this prompt. Call
`update_grill(action="define")` before presenting questions. The tree must be
acyclic, contain 1-24 unique nodes, give every node 2-3 unique options, and name
one recommended option with a reason. Prose is not state: only `update_grill`
can settle a frontier answer or complete the interview. Use `get_grill` after a
rejected update instead of guessing why the validator failed.
## Loop
1. Inspect available code, files, and sources for facts. Never ask the user for
a fact that can be verified directly.
2. Consider multiple plausible tree shapes internally. Keep the smallest tree
that covers materially different outcomes; do not expose hidden reasoning.
3. Ask every independent frontier question in one round. Defer a question when
its answer depends on another unresolved node.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260822.5ece291, 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.
