Convene a task-specific council of opinionated, review-only specialists; run them independently, then fuse their structured findings into one ranked verdict. Use when asked to convene the council, run the Nark Matrix, obtain adversarial review, or compare several review lenses.
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
# Nark Matrix The Nark Matrix is a fan-out/fuse review pattern. The controller selects relevant reviewers, gives each the same source artifact in an independent session, and fuses their findings. Character voices make the lenses memorable. The functional checklists do the work. This is an experimental technique. Do not claim that multiple agents, providers, or fictional wrappers improve quality without measuring the task at hand. ## Roster | Reviewer | Lens | Definition | |---|---|---| | HK-47 | simplicity and unnecessary machinery | `agents/hk47-reviewer.md` | | K-2SO | correctness, tests, observability, edge cases | `agents/k2so-observability.md` | | GLaDOS | architecture, contracts, migrations, optional synthesis | `agents/glados-architect.md` | | C-3PO | security, personal data, permissions, explicit controls | `agents/c3po-compliance.md` | | WALL-E | durable technical language and post-fusion translation | `agents/walle-simplifier.md` plus `skills/walle-ste/` | | Bender | cost and compute | `skills/nark-matrix/personas/bender-finops.md` | | Holly | long-horizon operational entropy | `skills/nark-matrix/personas/holly-entropy.md` | …

How to install
mdr add davehowell/council-of-nark/nark-matrix@sha256:7affbf63e9951b74The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260820.eca311a, 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.
