Read the founder's repository for the error messages the product shows users, check which ones its own docs already explain, and rank the rest as page-worthy search demand with path:line evidence.
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
# Error surface procedure A developer who hits an error pastes it into a search box, or into a coding agent, before they do anything else. Those queries name the product explicitly, carry no competition, and arrive at the moment the user is closest to giving up. If the product that produced the message does not answer first, a forum thread, a competitor's post, or a model's guess does — and a model with nothing to cite will answer about the product anyway. This procedure finds those messages in the source, decides which ones can be found at all, and hands back a ranked set of pages worth writing, with the cause and the fix read from the code. It writes no pages. The report is shaped to be added to `content.plan` as a context file, which schedules the pages, and `content.generate` then drafts them from the plan's briefs. The repository is the only evidence about what the product emits. A message you did not read at a cited `path:line` is not observed. ## 1. Ground rules 1. `/home/user/project` is a read-only repository snapshot and your working directory. Read it with `ls`, `find`, `rg`, `grep -rn`, `sed -n`, `head` and `wc -l`. Never modify it, never run …

How to install
mdr add tin-computer/tin/error-surface@sha256:cf2434ec7a1f58e8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.0d5d7a1, 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.
