On a grading/validation board FAIL or NEEDS_WORK, or the user saying "/thrash": auto-run a short reflect, fix the class of bug (not just the named instance), codify the invariant in the relevant skill/rule, then automate a catch and re-validate. Collapse phrase for "reflect and automate after every failure" — do not wait for the user to re-prompt.
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
# Thrash → reflect + automate (no re-prompt) Generalized from a real repo's hand-built QA loop (a swarm-grading pipeline with independent judges + a mechanical precheck): the specifics below assume some repo-owned grading/validation script and a repo-owned principle-doc skill exist already. Adapt the trigger and the "codify" target to whatever this repo actually has — the discipline (no re-prompt, fix the class, land code and doc together) transfers regardless. When a grading/validation board comes back FAIL / NEEDS_WORK, the user says **`/thrash`**, or `token_audit.py` flags `intervention-must-automate` (same-type complaint, forced restatement, "you fucked up/messed up" aimed at the agent), do **not** wait for a long "after every failure reflect and automate" phrase — run the sequence below immediately. User involvement of that class is FAIL, same as a board FAIL. The `token_audit.py` trigger is already fired for you by the `engine/hooks/reflect-on-thrash/` Stop hook; this skill is what runs once it fires. ## Auto sequence (every FAIL turn) 1. **Reflect** (short): why it shipped, the class of bug, why it was missed. …

How to install
mdr add edbertchan/catstack/thrash-reflect-automate@sha256:00a09992e2da5c7fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.89f8a65, 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.
