version-sentinel SKILL.md skillA
version-sentinel from ksegit/version-sentinel is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add ksegit/version-sentinel/version-sentinel@git:20261104.5a0e549Pins git:20261104.5a0e549 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when adding, bumping, or changing a dependency in package.json, requirements*.txt, constraints*.txt, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, *.csproj, *.fsproj, or *.vbproj. Triggered automatically by version-sentinel's PreToolUse hook (where the host supports hooks) — this skill explains how to satisfy the block and record a version check.
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
# Version Sentinel — Workflow The `version-sentinel` setup blocks dependency changes until you've verified the package version against its upstream registry. Here's the required flow. (On hosts without hook support, such as Zed, this same flow applies manually — follow it whenever you touch a manifest or run an install command.) ## Mandatory startup audit From the project directory, run the bundled `scripts/check-versions.sh` at startup and after manifests or lockfiles change. Hooks require successful current project evidence before dependency work. Registry lookup failure blocks; newer-release drift is reported without upgrading dependencies. File inspection, user questions, audit retries, and version recording remain available. If a required manifest is missing or invalid, ask Daniel before recreating or repairing that exact file. Do not guess dependencies. Only after actual consent, run `bash scripts/recover-manifest.sh approve FILE --user-confirmed 'REASON'`. This records an attestation; it does not obtain approval or create contents. Online-verify proposed dependencies before writing approved contents, then rerun the audit. Do not use the consent flag without approval. …

How to install
mdr add ksegit/version-sentinel/version-sentinel@sha256:96526a7376bece18The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.5a0e549, 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.
