Audit the ~/.claude/agents definitions and give each a verdict.

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-stocktake — Agent Definition Quality Audit

Evaluate every agent definition under `~/.claude/agents/*.md` and assign each a verdict:
`Keep / Improve / Update / Merge / Demote to skill / Dissolve / Retire`. The audit unit
is the file, but the cost unit is **split across two layers** — that split is the reason
this skill exists as a third sibling next to skill-stocktake and rules-stocktake.

> Design note — the hybrid cost model. A skill's cost is trigger pollution (probabilistic
> firing degrades selection); a rule's cost is residency (always loaded). An agent has
> **both at once**: its `description` is injected into every session via the
> "Available agent types" listing (**residency**, like a rule), while its body loads only
> when the agent is invoked (**invocation**, like a skill — but triggered by Claude's
> delegation judgment, not by description matching against the user's words). So the
> description is audited on residency density and the body on invocation quality, with
> different questions for each layer.

> Design note 2 — edits are applied in-session. Same reasoning as rules-stocktake: no

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add shimo4228/claude-harness/agent-stocktake@sha256:aa66c6157ef7fa46

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
