Thin router for Stage A issue evaluation: isolated origin/master validity, parent WIP census, named gitignored sink. Use when the operator asks to evaluate issues, run issue-eval, or triage:evaluate. Do NOT trigger on ordinary implement, build, swarm, or design-critique dispatch.

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.

# Issue Eval

Thin router into the issue-eval contract. Operator runs `task triage:evaluate`.

Legend (from RFC2119): !=MUST, ~=SHOULD, ≉=SHOULD NOT, ⊗=MUST NOT, ?=MAY.

## When to Use

- Operator asks to evaluate issues, run issue-eval, or `triage:evaluate`
- ⊗ Ordinary implement, build, swarm, or design-critique dispatch

## Stops

Normative rules live in [`contracts/issue-eval.md`](../../contracts/issue-eval.md).

1. Split read sources
2. Verdict sink
3. Evaluator worktrees
4. Value advice grammar
5. No GitHub writes
6. Fan-out

⊗ Emit `design-critique: warranted | not warranted, because` from evaluation.
⊗ Reuse `swarm:launch` until #3649.
⊗ Write `xbrief/proposed/` or GitHub from this skill.

## EXIT

deft-directive-issue-eval complete -- exiting skill. Next: run `task triage:evaluate`, then decide with existing `triage:*` verbs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add deftai/directive/deft-directive-issue-eval@sha256:4d1c2524af19cf80

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.f638764, 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.
