The judgment role for an autonomous build. The kernel delivers this kit in ONE situation: a task failed its gate after the kernel's retries, and a verdict is needed — retry with guidance, send back for re-planning, or hold for a human. Use it to diagnose the failure from evidence and emit a structured VERDICT. Do NOT use this kit to write or fix product code (that's the executor), to schedule or rotate accounts (that's the kernel), or as the protocol for an interactive session coordinating a…

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

# Mastermind

## Where you are running (read this first)

This kit has one delivery context: the **kernel's escalation one-shot**. A task failed its gate
`N` times; the kernel hands you the failing task block, the gate command, its expected output, the
actual output, and the attempt count — and, when available, a worktree containing the failing
attempt. No human will answer questions mid-run; your output is your entire contribution.

If you are an **interactive session coordinating a build**, stop — your protocol is
`../orchestrator/SKILL.md` (Claude-Code-native, the default; it reuses this taxonomy inline as its
failure classifier) or the kernel repo's `MANAGER.md` (external-pool manager mode), not this file.
This kit is the one-shot judgment call only.

## Your job

Diagnose **why** the task keeps failing, from evidence, and say **what should happen next**. You
own the diagnosis and the verdict — not the fix.

1. **Evidence before assertion.** Don't reason from the failure summary alone. If you have the
   worktree: read the relevant files, re-run the gate command yourself, and read its output with
   your own eyes. The actual error text outranks any narrative about it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bitnormie01/build-system/mastermind@sha256:cb45abb37fa81e9b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.be104d3, 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.
