Adversarial review — Fable 5 stress-tests reasoning, Gemini checks knowledge. Use before plan or architecture decisions.

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

# Challenge

Adversarial review with two modes. **Standard:** three native challenger subagents (convergent · systems · critical) stress-test reasoning, Gemini retrieves documented constraints — all run independently, Claude merges and judges. **Council (`--council`):** Four parallel perspective agents (devil's advocate, optimist, pragmatist, operator) plus Gemini — Claude synthesizes across all five.

**Deep (`--deep`, or auto on high-stakes):** any mode, plus an adversarial **verification stage** — every merged finding is independently re-attacked by N skeptics (`verify-findings` workflow), so plausible-but-wrong findings are dropped to FALSE_POSITIVE and survivors get a calibrated severity before you see them. All agents are native subagents on the subscription — no ruflo, no API key.

1. **Gather context** about what to challenge:
   - If `$ARGUMENTS` provided, use it as the description of what to challenge.
   - If `$ARGUMENTS` contains `--council`: strip `--council` from the target description, activate **council mode** — step 4a spawns 4 parallel perspective agents instead of one Opus agent. All other steps unchanged.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add martineserios/thebrana/challenge@sha256:ca01709863155257

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.62052f3, 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.
