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
# Fact-Check California Court Filings Use this skill to verify California court filings (or packets of filings) before filing. The agent runs four passes and produces a report. The user reviews the report and accepts or rejects each proposed correction. > **NOT LEGAL ADVICE.** Fact-checking verifies the surface — it > does not tell you whether the legal position is winning.

How to install
mdr add codearranger/claude-legal/ca-fact-check@sha256:8b1d67542295e393The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, 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.
