Prepare Vellum Assistant branches for review by checking git hygiene, PR scope, tests, docs, migrations, Linear linking, and companion repo needs. Use before creating a pull request, splitting work into PRs, or asking whether a branch is ready.

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

# Vellum PR Readiness

## Goal

Confirm the branch is reviewable, scoped, and verified before opening a PR. Prefer surfacing blockers over polishing summaries.

## Checklist

1. Inspect `git status` and identify unrelated changes, generated artifacts, deleted files, and untracked files.
2. Inspect staged and unstaged diffs before recommending a commit or PR.
3. Check for secrets:
   - Do not commit `.env`, credentials, tokens, private keys, or local workspace data.
   - `.env.example` is allowed only for placeholder values.
4. Check scope:
   - If the branch is too large, suggest splitting it into smaller, reviewable PR branches.
   - Separate unrelated UI, backend, migration, and infra changes when practical.
5. Check required follow-ups:
   - Migration needed for persisted data or workspace format changes.
   - Docs needed for significant architecture, service, or data-flow changes.
   - Companion `vellum-assistant-platform` PR needed for platform-affecting contracts or new feature flags.
6. Check Linear conventions:
   - Branch, commit body, and PR body should include the Linear issue ID when one exists.
   - Use `Closes JARVIS-123` for single final PRs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/vellum-pr-readiness@sha256:40c0d3538537f16c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260521.b4bdd7a, 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.
