Verify work against explicit criteria using direct, source-faithful evidence, reproducible checks, and clear verdicts. Use before declaring an artifact, implementation, or claim complete; do not use for exploratory research without pass/fail criteria.
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
# Verification Methodology Pass/fail assessment against pre-defined criteria. ## The Verification Protocol 1. **Receive** — restate the artifact, claim, or implementation being verified and the decision it will support. 2. **Assess criteria** — convert requirements into observable pass/fail conditions; identify what would disprove each claim. 3. **Investigate** — collect direct, reproducible evidence from the source named by the request and record commands, source locations, or source URLs. Own this collection when the source is accessible: do not ask the user to relay evidence you can retrieve yourself. Ask only for access you genuinely lack. 4. **Decide** — mark each criterion passed, failed, blocked, or not applicable. Do not convert missing evidence into a pass. - When verification is split across lanes, no lane's PASS is the gate verdict. Wait for every required lane and reconcile conflicts before synthesis. - A later source-fidelity BLOCK supersedes an earlier prose, rendering, or checklist PASS for the same artifact hash. Immediately label earlier PASS packets as superseded so downstream workers cannot mistake them for the current verdict. …

How to install
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/verification-methodology@sha256:8d46301032febf84The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.4be4646, 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.
