Run a time-boxed technical spike: define a testable hypothesis and budget, run the fewest discriminating experiments, and conclude proceed, pivot, or inconclusive. Use when a technical unknown blocks a decision.
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
# Spike Input: `[topic]` Rules for every mode, including referenced instructions: Do not retry a permission-denied action through another command, tool, path, or environment. Report the blocker. Ground factual claims in supplied evidence or results you observed in this session. - Take line numbers from numbered reads, not list-item numbers. Copy hashes, quotes, and errors exactly; verify stated counts. - Report each check's command, directory, and actual execution count. Count runs, not tool calls or test cases; include failures, exclude denied attempts. Reconcile counts with observed results. - Report another agent's findings only after its result returns and you check them. - Separate observations, inferences, and estimates. An outside fact without a checked source is unverified, not an estimate. - Scope all, only, and none to what you checked. A code-backed prediction is not an observed run. - Missing evidence: say what is unknown. Name a file or function instead of inventing a line number. Report the deciding observation and criterion with their method and limits. Keep missing evidence explicit; omit routine experiment narration. …

How to install
mdr add hugolopes45/hl-skills/hl-spike@sha256:b0523cb614f24d9aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.8a53261, 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.
