Assess an external GitHub repo for Hamzaish — verify health, clone read-only, run a facts-only deep-dive, and land a references-grammar draft in the scout backlog for operator review. Use when the operator drops a repo URL to evaluate, asks "can we leverage X repo," or on a trending sweep (--trending). Drafts only — nothing enters references/, credits, or the factory without an approved PR.
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
# repo-scout — study a repo without being changed by it Turn "look at this repo" into a decision-ready draft: **verify health → clone read-only → facts-only deep-dive → references-grammar assessment → backlog**. The operator reviews the backlog; graduation into `references/` + credits is a separate, approved PR. First run of the full method: the 2026-07-30 four-repo assessment (Graft · Adrian · AgentENV · OpenSpace — see `references/README.md`). ## Hard gates (load-bearing — eval-pinned; an edit dropping one goes red) 1. **Health verification before anything else** (CLAUDE.md hard rule #5). Via `gh api repos/<owner>/<name>`: exists · not archived · pushed within 12 months · license present · star/fork/org signals (`users/<org>`, contributors, releases, commits last 30d). A repo failing the bar gets ONE backlog line saying why — no clone, no deep-dive, and **refuse to recommend**. **Sub-path targets (a sample or package inside a monorepo):** verify BOTH levels — the parent repo as above, AND the sub-path's own history via `gh api repos/<owner>/<name>/commits?path=<subdir>` (authors, commit count, …

How to install
mdr add hamza-ali-shahjahan/hamzaish/repo-scout@sha256:11499ffdca84e360The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260807.ce15f1e, 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.
