blindspot skillA

blindspot is agent-read markdown (skill) from vinta/hal-9000: Use when the user asks for a blindspot pass or to find their unknown unknowns, or signals unfamiliarity with a domain, tool, or codebase area ("never used X", "first time doing Y", "no idea where to start", "don't know what I don't know") before working there. Interviews the user with recon-fed questions, turning unknown unknowns into known unknowns and naming silent assumptions so they can prompt well.

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

mdr add vinta/hal-9000/blindspot@git:20260815.f92b264
Exact content
mdr add vinta/hal-9000/blindspot@sha256:25d1c1abedef746e

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.
