trust-but-verify skillA

trust-but-verify is agent-read markdown (skill) from the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer: Use when you receive findings, a report, or any factual claims back from a subagent/Task before you act on them — re-validate every claim against a primary source (the code itself, the memory directory, CONTEXT.md, docs/ and docs/adr/, context7 library docs, package/API references, or a language spec) instead of trusting the agent's summary. Trigger automatically after any Task/subagent returns a result you're about to rely on, and whenever the user says "trust but verify", "verify these claims".

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer/trust-but-verify@git:20260530.d36a671
Exact content
mdr add the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer/trust-but-verify@sha256:acf8709e1d48bc39

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
