Inspect unfamiliar or high-stakes code before edits, including auth, billing, and migrations.

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

# Blindspot

Hunt unknown unknowns: the risks nobody thought to ask about. Output is a short ranked set of blindspot cards, each grounded in this codebase with a concrete next move — never a generic risk checklist.

## Steps

1. **Map the territory.** Read the target module, its callers, its tests, and its config/env wiring. Blindspots live in the connections, not the file itself.
2. **Sweep the classic hiding places** against the actual code:
   - Hidden state and side effects (module-level mutables, caches, singletons)
   - Implicit invariants the code assumes but never checks (ordering, uniqueness, non-null)
   - Swallowed errors: catch blocks that hide failure, fallbacks that mask bugs
   - Concurrency and ordering: races, double-fires, retry without idempotency
   - Config/env coupling: behavior that changes across environments
   - AuthZ edges: who else can reach this path, what happens unauthenticated
   - Back-compat and migration traps: persisted data shaped by old code
3. **Write blindspot cards.** Each card:
   - **What you likely don't know** — one sentence
   - **Evidence** — `file:line` in this repo (no evidence, no card)
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ucsandman/claude-skills/blindspot@sha256:e55fe05c5c9dce81

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.41afbd2, 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.
