first-principles skillA
first-principles is agent-read markdown (skill) from martineserios/thebrana: Bottom-up reasoning from fundamentals — strip assumptions, interrogate each one, rebuild from what's actually true..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
How to install
mdr add martineserios/thebrana/first-principles@git:20260615.6d899e8mdr add martineserios/thebrana/first-principles@sha256:f8aa2a033949020dPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
