Audits the local proposal queue for proposals that have gone stale — work that already shipped (visible in a plugin CHANGELOG or merged PR) but is still sitting at status `proposed`/`deferred`/`accepted`, plus proposals old enough to be inert. Auto-resolves only unambiguous matches and asks before anything else. Use this whenever the operator says "check for stale proposals", "which proposals are stale", "are any proposals already done", "reconcile the proposal queue…
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
# Stale Proposals An open proposal is a claim that something still needs doing. That claim decays two ways: the work quietly shipped under a different name and nobody flipped the status, or the idea simply stopped mattering. Both leave the queue lying, and the lie is expensive here — the heartbeat re-fires every open proposal on each wake, so a stale entry costs tokens forever and trains the operator to ignore the whole list. This skill reconciles the queue against what actually shipped. It is deliberately asymmetric about trust: **shipping evidence can close a proposal automatically, age cannot.** Evidence is checkable and a wrong flip is recoverable by reading the changelog; "this feels inert" is a judgement about the operator's intentions, and getting it wrong silently buries live work. ## Usage `/stale-proposals [--no-apply] [--from PROP-NNN] [--status proposed,deferred]` - **No arg** — full audit; auto-resolves unambiguous matches, asks about everything else. - **`--no-apply`** — report only, write nothing. Use when you want to see the verdicts before trusting them. …

How to install
mdr add gtapps/hermitd/stale-proposals@sha256:7d1baa3fa527afe7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.d186741, 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.
