Establish a finding before you publish it, and correct it after — headlines that overstate what actually reproduces at the layer a user sees, reporting code that no entry point can reach or that is already dead, filing a caveat the project's own records already answered, re-verifying your prior notes against the tree instead of against the note, choosing the narrowest injection point that reproduces a failure without breaking the run first, capturing probe output a harness swallows, and…
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
# Writing Defect Reports A report is a claim, and it is read by people who will not re-derive it. The cost of an overstated one is not embarrassment — it is a maintainer spending an afternoon on a premise that does not hold, or a "fix" landing for a failure mode that never occurred. The techniques for *finding* a defect live in **verifying-external-behavior** (also in this repo's `.claude/skills/`). This skill is about the step between finding one and publishing it. The rule underneath all of it: **publish the claim you actually measured, at the layer you measured it.** ## The anomaly is real; the headline may not be The common failure is not a fabricated bug. It is a genuine internal oddity promoted one layer too far. You notice that a helper returns a degenerate value for a small sample, trace it into a scoring path, and write the report as *"short inputs are wrongly flagged."* Then you run real short inputs through the public entry point and the flag never sets — a downstream threshold absorbs the degenerate value, and the only visible effect is noise in a secondary per-feature list. The internal oddity is worth …

How to install
mdr add kajisho5/ffmpeg-skill/writing-defect-reports@sha256:774bb1a56a01efbcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.24c1610, 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.
