heretic skillA
heretic is agent-read markdown (skill) from akillness/jeo-skills: Runs directional ablation and refusal-direction analysis for open-weight models the user may modify; use to reduce benign over-refusal or measure refusal/KL trade-offs, not for training..
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.
