Decompose a large or risky change into a sequence of independently safe intermediate states, so the system stays green at every step and any step can be reverted alone.
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
# Incremental Safety > Status: v0.1 baseline draft — derived from the case catalog and axis definitions; awaiting trace evidence from Fable 5.1 case runs. ## When to apply - The change touches 3+ files, crosses a module boundary, or alters a public interface, schema, or wire format. - You are migrating between technologies (framework swap, storage engine, protocol version) while the system must keep running. - The change cannot be verified in one shot — the test suite, a benchmark, or production traffic is the only real oracle. - Rollback matters: the target runs in production, other agents or humans work on the same tree, or the deploy is not atomic. - A refactor started as "small" but the diff keeps growing and you have not committed anything runnable yet. - You are about to do a big-bang rewrite and cannot state what proves the rewrite behaves identically to the original. ## Core loop 1. **Name the end state and the invariant.** Write one sentence for the target and one for what must stay true throughout, e.g. "all existing tests pass", "API responses byte-identical", "p99 within 5% of baseline". …

How to install
mdr add rlaope/ultraprompt/incremental-safety@sha256:1f64f6c4cf342eeaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.a5ced99, 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.
