Check a social post draft for human signal (a metric, a constraint, an opinion) before Valor posts it, and say how to add what is missing. Use when drafting or about to publish a LinkedIn or X post, or on any draft for an external audience.
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
# Authenticity pass Read the draft, look for three markers of human signal, and return what you found and how to add what is missing. This is craft for the writer, not a gate: Valor posts as himself, on his own accounts, and decides. Style and AI-writing tells are de-slop's job; this pass asks one thing: does the draft carry signal that someone with real experience wrote it? ## The three markers **Metric.** A specific, defensible number. "8s → 600ms", "412 restarts in a week", "200 to 3,000 followers in 4 months". Not "significantly faster", "many times", "huge growth". **Constraint.** An admitted limit, failure or tradeoff. "broke in prod until we added X", "only works if Y", "we tried Z first and it failed", "costs 3× the naive approach". Not pure success framing or "works great". **Opinion.** A point of view someone could argue against. "most teams underestimate this cost", "I'd do this differently now", "the real bottleneck is Y, not Z". Not neutral description or "both approaches have merit". A long-form post (over 280 characters) is strongest with all three. A short post or a reply needs at least a metric or a constraint. ## What to return …

How to install
mdr add tomcounsell/ai/authenticity-pass@sha256:8905836c3b7c3032The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.97f4952, 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.
