Invoke before claiming any task is done — defines what counts as evidence of completion (execution, not inspection) and how to verify at the layer the requirement actually lives at.

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 Discipline

> Status: v0.1 baseline draft — derived from the case catalog and axis definitions; awaiting trace evidence from Fable 5.1 case runs.

## When to apply

- You are about to say "done", "fixed", "implemented", or "this should work" in any form.
- You wrote or changed code but have not yet executed the changed path.
- The requirement is stated in terms of runtime behavior: performance, concurrency, crash recovery,
  rendering, protocol compliance, or a user-visible flow.
- A bug fix exists but the original failure has not been re-triggered against the fixed code.
- Tests pass, but the requirement lives above the unit level
  (e.g., "the page loads fast", "no duplicate charge under load").
- You feel confident from reading the code alone. That feeling is the trigger, not the evidence.

## Core loop

1. **State the completion claim as an observable.**
   Before verifying anything, write down what "done" means as something the world can show you:
   "GET /orders returns 200 with the new field", "loss decreases for 500 steps",
   "the shell survives `kill -9` of a child process".

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add rlaope/ultraprompt/verification-discipline@sha256:a3eb0b94091fb048

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.a5ced99, 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.
