Install, instrument and verify a web app end to end without pausing for a human. Use in an autonomous or goal-mode agent, in CI, or in any client that asks for approval on every command: it never says "restart your client" or "open a browser", because it takes a route that needs neither. Prefer the normal reticle skill when a human is present and can answer.

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

# Reticle, unattended

Same product, same verdicts, one difference: **nothing here waits for a human.**

The normal skill has two places where it hands control back: "restart your client so it picks up the MCP server" and "open the app in a browser". Both are correct when someone is sitting there. In goal mode they are dead ends: the restart ends the context holding these instructions, and there is nobody to open a tab.

So this skill takes the route that needs neither, and stops only when it has a verdict or a reason.

## The one rule that makes this work

**You cannot add MCP tools to your own running process.** No slash command, no config edit, no re-registration reaches the tool list you already have. Your client read it before Reticle existed. Do not try, and do not ask to be restarted.

Instead, branch once on what you already have:

- **`reticle_*` tools present** → drive with them. Best evidence, source-mapped, full verdicts.
- **not present** → use the CLI. `reticle verify` produces a verdict and an exit code with no MCP involvement at all.

Both routes end in a verdict. Pick the one your process allows and go.

## Step 1: wire it, once
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add reticlehq/reticle/verify-unattended@sha256:a14c779aebf1e52a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.9.0, 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.
