Runs drift detection on all design documents to check for document and code consistency. Produces an actionable report with differences. Use when the user asks to detect drift or check for consistency across all design documents or READMEs in a directory.

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

# Detect Drift In Designs and Code

When running in Codex or ChatGPT Work, first read [Codex integration](../../docs/codex.md).
In Claude Code or Cowork, read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/claude.md` first.

When the user asks to detect drift across all designs or a set of READMEs, the
goal is to identify all instances where the codebase has diverged or failed to
implement the specifications described by those designs or READMEs.

1.  **Check Input**: Verify a directory containing design documents or READMEs
    is provided. If not provided, ask the user to specify the target directory.
2.  **List Documents**: List all files in the design directory.
3.  **Analyze**: For EACH design document:

    *   **Contextualize**: Read the design document. Identify the intent,
        proposed changes, and specific filenames/symbols mentioned.
    *   **Locate Source**: Find the corresponding source code files in the
        source tree. If paths aren't explicit, use code search or grep to
        locate the relevant classes, functions, or API endpoints mentioned in
        the doc. Prompt the user to add missing links to the document to make
        future detection cheaper.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add google/elephant-goldfish-model/egm-drift-report@sha256:c000ffe2e77a9fe7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.e45f640, 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.
