Vet a plugin, skill pack, or rule file before adopting it: inventory what it actually injects and when (hooks, whether it reaches subagents, any state it persists to disk), auto-discover the rules already in force (global and project CLAUDE.md, project and personal skills, other enabled plugins), then classify every rule the target carries as a duplicate of something already covered, a conflict with an existing hard-stop or safety rule, or genuinely new — and only then propose a patch. Never…
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
# neckbeard Reads the whole thing before it trusts the plugin. A one-shot report, not a persona: nothing here should ever be injected into a session or a subagent. The point is to stop that from happening to the *target*, so the tool practicing the opposite would be the whole method failing on itself. ## Step 1 — Run the inventory The inventory script sits in this skill's own directory, next to this file, so it runs the same way whether neckbeard arrived as a plugin or as a plain skill folder. Claude Code shows the skill's base directory when the skill loads; use it: ```bash python3 <this skill's directory>/inventory.py <target> [--project-dir DIR] [--extra-rules PATH] ``` If the base directory was not shown, find the script rather than guess: `find ~/.claude -path "*/neckbeard/inventory.py" 2>/dev/null`. More than one hit means more than one copy is installed (a plugin cache and a skill folder, or two cached versions); prefer the one whose `SKILL.md` you are reading, and say which you used. `<target>` is an installed plugin (`name@marketplace`, e.g. `ponytail@ponytail` — check `enabledPlugins` in your settings for the exact key), a local …

How to install
mdr add jerrydboonstra/neckbeard/neckbeard@sha256:1bfddbf865a8a5bfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.39af15c, 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.
