Review a kanban card against RUBRIC.md with evidence checks, then complete or request changes. Loaded by the dispatcher for cards in review on the hustle board.

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

# Reviewing a card

1. Run `kanban_show`. Note the type label. If there is no type label, request changes with row 1: "Card has no type label; the Driver must add one."
2. Open `/Users/hustle/project/RUBRIC.md`. Use the type table and the common table.
3. For each required row, run the check. Commands go through the terminal tool from the project folder. A URL check is `curl -sS -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" <url>`. A commit check is `git show <hash> --stat`.
4. Decide. All required rows pass: `kanban_complete(summary="<two lines: what shipped, which metric it moved>")`. Any row fails: `kanban_request_changes("<numbered failing rows, each with what would make it pass>")`.
5. Record the verdict so it shows on the status page at `http://127.0.0.1:8091`: from `/Users/hustle/project` run `harness/status/record-review.sh <card id> <type> <pass|changes> "<card title>" "<numbered findings, one per line; empty on a pass>"`.
6. Count passes of this type in `LEDGER.md`. On the tenth, append a stricter row to the type table, commit `RUBRIC.md`, and write a dated line to `DECISIONS.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alter-persona/alter/hustle-critic@sha256:ccbb40814bac121f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
