Runs a Gauntlet Loop: turns an ambitious goal into a builder/critic prompt judged against a concrete quality bar, confirms with the user, then leads the run until the output beats the bar or the user stops it — or exports a paste-ready /goal prompt for a fresh session. Use for long-horizon goals with an inspectable reference. Long-running; spawns many subagents, edits project files, and commits and pushes finished pieces to a feature branch.

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

# Gauntlet

Turn an ambitious goal into a builder/critic improvement loop judged against a
concrete quality bar, and run that loop until the output wins or the user
stops it.

The user's arguments are the goal, plus any references or quality bars they
mentioned. If no goal was given, ask for one.

Gauntlet prompts are modeled on Matt Shumer's prompt for the Claude-of-Duty
game:

> I want you to build a first-person shooter at the level of the most recent
> Call of Duty games. It should be utterly perfect, visually beautiful, with
> every single thing done at AAA quality—from textures to physics to anything
> you could think of.
>
> Fan out sub-agents and have sub-agents tackle each one individually so that
> the game is utterly perfect. You should /loop on each item and have a
> separate sub-agent check it visually to ensure it looks triple A. That
> separate sub-agent should be a really harsh critic, and if it doesn't look
> triple A, it should keep going.
>
> Don't stop until each sub-agent is utterly wowed with the quality when
> compared with the actual Call of Duty game. It should literally compare them

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oprogramadorreal/optimus-claude/gauntlet@sha256:5463fe79a8888c2a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.7013524, 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.
