agent-anti-pattern from mangowhoiscloud/geode is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Audit agent runtimes and their tests for lifecycle inference, capability overload, context pollution, correlated verification, prompt-only control, false success, dead compatibility paths, test-only seams, and complexity without contribution. Use for whole-repository agent audits, slop or dead-code triage, test contribution reviews, large refactors, tool/context simplification, and cleanup requests that need proof before deleting code or tests.
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
# Agent Anti-Pattern Audit Treat a static hit as a candidate, never as a finding. Prove the failure mechanism, affected consumer, and safe correction before changing code. Read [references/field-guide.md](references/field-guide.md) before triage. It defines the source grades, six anti-pattern families, false-positive boundaries, finding record, and deletion gate. ## Workflow 1. Freeze the base commit, tracked scope, exclusions, and generated inventory. 2. Reuse existing linters, dependency checks, slop scans, and test collectors. Do not create another scanner for a check they already perform. 3. Trace each candidate through static callers plus entrypoints, registries, decorators, import-by-string, side-effect imports, subprocess workers, schemas, public exports, persisted data, and compatibility contracts. 4. Apply AP-1 through AP-6 from the field guide. Record a harmful consequence or measured non-contribution; size, duplication, or unfamiliarity alone is insufficient. 5. Map affected tests to behavior and invariants. Detect source-string false positives, broad-exception false greens, private-shape pinning, environment …

How to install
mdr add mangowhoiscloud/geode/agent-anti-pattern@sha256:82724c481d7377a6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.789a6b6, 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.
