Use when output must clear two independent adversarial reviewers before it ships — production code, published content, or any deliverable where a single self-reviewing agent shares the blind spots that produced the output. Not for internal drafts or deterministic checks (use build/test/lint pipelines for those).

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

# Santa Method

Multi-agent adversarial verification with a convergence loop. Two independent reviewers, no shared
context, must both PASS before output ships.

## The Problem This Solves

A single agent reviewing its own output shares the same biases, knowledge gaps, and systematic
errors that produced the output. This engine already has `sdlc-meta/skill-engine-audit` (audits a
whole skill engine) and `digital-research-engine/skills/peer-review-loop` (reviewer independence
for research claims, with a red-team memo and dissent disposition). Santa Method is narrower and
more mechanical than either: it is the specific **dual-independent-PASS gate** for a single
deliverable — code, a generated document, a batch of generated content — not a whole-engine audit
or a research claim review. Use it as the gate; use `skill-engine-audit` or `peer-review-loop` for
their own broader jobs.

<!-- dual-compat-start -->

## Use When

- Output will be published, deployed, or consumed by end users
- Compliance, regulatory, or brand constraints must be enforced
- Code ships to production without human review
- Content accuracy matters (technical docs, educational material, customer-facing copy)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add peterbamuhigire/chwezi-dev-engine/santa-method@sha256:0d9e1d00a3c853d4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.6941e08, 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.
