Set up a repo's machine gates (format, lint, type check, security, dependency audit, tests), or audit whether existing gates have gone stale. Use when a repo has no automated gate (lint を入れて), or its tools may be outdated.

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

# verify-bootstrap — set up machine gates in a repo

Humans cannot read code as fast as AI writes it. So judging structural correctness is
**moved to machines**. For each repo, this skill sets up
the best checking tools available at that moment.

## What this skill does not carry (the core of the design)

**It carries no list of tool names. It carries no language-detection table either.** Tools go stale
(flake8 + black + isort → ruff happened within two years). A fixed table rots,
and the rotten table gets handed out to repos.

It carries only **how to investigate, and a contract**:

- a procedure that enumerates what the repo actually contains (no static language list)
- what to ask search-first for each category
- the contract of the generated `.claude/verify.sh` (the only thing a pre-commit hook or CI needs to know)
- the discipline of strictness and staleness detection

As a result, the same procedure works for languages and tools that did not exist when this skill was written.

## Modes

| Mode | Trigger | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| **bootstrap** | No `.claude/verify.sh` | Run Steps 1–6 |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add shimo4228/claude-harness/verify-bootstrap@sha256:76b4b1dfb2df4cea

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
