Use after implementation to block a task from advancing until a reality check passes. Spawns a reality-check agent (/qa-only, /doubt-driven-development), records PASS or NEEDS_WORK/FAIL in task-store.db, halts the pipeline on failure, and escalates repeated failures to the PD or council.

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

# nexus-gatekeeper

description: "Formalizes Reality Checker as a hard blocking gate in the task pipeline — a task cannot advance past implementation until the gate is cleared. After implementation, spawns the Reality Checker agent and parses its verdict: PASS sets gate_status=passed (downstream agents spawn), NEEDS_WORK or FAIL sets gate_status=failed and halts the pipeline. Writes gate records to task-store.db. In FAIL scenarios with consecutive failures, escalates to the PD or council. Best for teams that want enforcement-grade quality gates without relying on discipline — the gatekeeper makes the workflow self-governing. Also for: tracking recurring quality concerns across tasks and surfacing architectural issues from repeated gate failures."

## Protocol

1. **After implementation:** Spawn a reality-check agent (general-purpose + /qa-only, /doubt-driven-development; role file: agents-archive/generalist-2026-10-06/testing/testing-reality-checker.md) to assess
2. **Parse verdict:**
   - `PASS` → set `gate_status=passed`
   - `NEEDS_WORK` → set `gate_status=failed`, halt pipeline
   - `FAIL` → set `gate_status=failed`, halt pipeline, escalate

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tekkiiiii/the-agency/nexus-gatekeeper@sha256:f8b088499dd0d816

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.04729ed, 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.
