Diagnoses a failing CI gate, lint, or audit and fixes the artefact rather than weakening the gate. Use when a gate fails. Use when tempted to bypass a check with --no-verify, blanket suppression, severity-threshold lowering, or exemption-list addition. Use when a pre-commit hook blocks a commit. Use when a required status check on a PR shows red.
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
# Gate Discipline: Diagnose, Then Fix the Artefact ## Overview A failing gate is signal, not noise. The artefact is what needs fixing, not the gate. This skill walks through the correct-response hierarchy from the canonical rule [`governance/gate-discipline.md`](../../governance/gate-discipline.md) when a gate fails, named to make the reflex "diagnose, then act" rather than "silence, then proceed". The rule is the source of truth for normative content (the full enumeration of prohibited responses, tool-specific anti-pattern examples, the exception-handling protocol, the framework-alignment table). This skill is the workflow wrapper: the diagnose-then-act sequence applied to a gate failure. ## When to Use - A CI gate, lint, type check, test suite, or audit failed during the current task. - A pre-commit hook blocked a commit you are trying to make. - A required status check on a PR is showing red and you are deciding how to respond. - A generator-output `--check` reports drift between the source and the committed artefact. …

How to install
mdr add jposluns/grc_library/gate-discipline-diagnose@sha256:65ed31edb2ceed17The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.22a8e2c, 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.
