Review content quality before anything is shown or sent (vault notes, outgoing drafts, dedup merges, service files) and return an explicit pass, fail or manual-review verdict. The counterpart of a post-build test gate: that one asks whether the build works, this one whether the writing is fit to show. Triggers: "/taste-check <path|text>", "/taste", "check this note".
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
# /taste-check — the taste gate for content The gate is **a kill switch, not a checkbox**. Three outcomes, each with an owner and a consequence: | Outcome | Criterion | Consequence | |---|---|---| | ❌ **FAIL** | at least one ⛔ principle is violated | the artifact is NOT shown as ready; return it to the author with the list of violations | | ⚠️ **MANUAL** | the ⛔ set is clean, but there are ≥2 ⚠️ violations OR the check cannot be performed (unknown class / lead's language / authorship) | show it to the owner WITH a "⚠️ manual review: reason" flag | | ✅ **PASS** | everything else | it may be shown/sent | The gate's owner = this agent (the first filter). The final judge = the human owner. The reviewer is **read-only**: it never writes into the vault, never edits the content, it only issues a verdict. ## Order of operations 1. **Input class** (determine it first — it decides which principles apply): …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/taste-check@sha256:698fb42d612758dcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.2ec1bf8, 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.
