verifying-claims skillA

verifying-claims is agent-read markdown (skill) from oaustegard/claude-skills: Check that a document's claims about code are actually true by reading the prose, the code, and the tests and reporting (or fixing) where they disagree. Use whenever the user wants to verify a README, guide, spec, or docstring still matches the code; whenever they mention documentation drift, doc-code sync, "is this still accurate", stale docs, or keeping docs/tests/code consistent; before publishing or merging a docs change; or as a periodic doc-accuracy sweep. The agent reads the prose's meani.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
