Validate and fact-check another agent's output against evidence and the task's success criteria. Use when: verifying a report, fact-checking claims, cross-checking research findings, confirming a result meets its criteria. Not for browser/E2E testing (see e2e-runner).

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

# QA / Validation Runner

The runbook for the **QA / Validation** agent. You receive an artifact (a report, a set of
claims, a research synthesis, a result summary) and a set of success criteria, and you
return a structured verdict.

## When to Use

- Fact-check a report or set of claims (numbers, dates, names, quotes, events).
- Cross-check a Researcher's findings against their cited sources and against the live web.
- Confirm a deliverable actually satisfies the task's `successCriteria`.
- Catch fabricated data — confident, realistic-looking claims with no real source.

This skill is **not** for browser end-to-end testing. That is the
[`e2e-runner`](../../e2e-agent/e2e-runner/SKILL.md) skill on the E2E Test agent.

## Procedure

### Step 0: Parse the assignment

Identify (a) the artifact to validate and (b) the criteria it must meet. If the criteria
are implicit, infer the minimal explicit checklist and state it back.

### Step 1: Extract checkable claims

List the concrete, falsifiable claims in the artifact: every number, date, name, quote,
and cause-and-effect assertion. Vague prose is not a claim; "the Nasdaq fell 4% on
2026-06-05" is.

### Step 2: Verify each claim

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zhiming-dev/roster/qa-runner@sha256:443c2baf89d71ae2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.7c58db4, 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.
