Score and improve an artifact with a frozen rubric, independent models, implemented edits, and bounded rescoring.
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
> **Host: Codex CLI** — This skill was designed for Claude Code and adapted for Codex.
> Cross-reference commands use installed skill names in Codex rather than `/octo:*` slash commands.
> Use the active Codex shell and subagent tools. Do not claim a provider, model, or host subagent is available until the current session exposes it.
> For host tool equivalents, see `skills/blocks/codex-host-adapter.md`.
# Rubric-guided refinement
Execute the workflow below when invoked through `/octo:refine` or
`/octo:ladder`. This is a host-managed workflow using real provider calls.
Never role-play other models or invent their scores. The score validator checks
structure and arithmetic; it does not verify the truth of a model's judgments.
Resolve the installed plugin root before reading its resources or running its
commands:
```bash
OCTO_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin}}"
```
Keep this absolute root in the workflow context and include its assignment in
each new shell invocation. Shell variables may not persist between tool calls.
If the judge adapter or score validator is missing at this root, stop and name
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/skill-refine@sha256:ccfb2ff06c4e9fd6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.fc2598c, 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.
