Compares stated priorities against where time and effort actually went, and produces a strategy drift report. Uses git log, vault priorities, and project docs to detect misalignment. Use when the user says "drift check", "am I on track", "priority alignment", "where did my time go", "strategy drift", or wants to audit focus vs intention.
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
# Drift Check Detect when effort drifts from stated priorities. ## Workflow 1. **Identify stated priorities** — Find the user's declared priorities from: - Most recent `weekly-plan.md` or `weekly-review-*.md` in the vault - Any `PRIORITIES.md`, `GOALS.md`, or pinned notes - Sprint/milestone definitions - If none found, ask the user to state their top 3-5 priorities 2. **Measure actual effort** — Analyze where time actually went: - `git log --since="[period]" --stat` across all repos under `~/broomva/` - Count commits, lines changed, and files touched per project - Check vault note creation/modification dates and volumes - Look at conversation logs if available 3. **Map effort to priorities** — For each stated priority: - **Aligned effort**: commits/notes that directly serve this priority - **Tangential effort**: related but not directly advancing the goal - **Unrelated effort**: work that doesn't map to any stated priority 4. **Calculate drift score** — Per priority: - `alignment_ratio = aligned_effort / total_effort` - Flag priorities with < 20% of total effort as **neglected** …

How to install
mdr add broomva/skills/drift-check@sha256:6a2fe6825ec01818The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260628.9edbf07, 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.
