Drive an ambitious goal past a real-world quality bar by splitting it into pieces, each looped through a builder and a fresh, harsh, blind critic until ours reaches the bar or the caller stops.
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
Apply [library context](../../references/library-context.md) as the coordinator (the lead). Inputs: goal, optional bar or candidate references, workspace and output location, optional caller bounds (time, cost, rounds) and scoped settings. Treat the goal as the destination: choose the architecture, pieces and order, adding no scope the caller did not ask for. ## Set the bar The bar is a named, inspectable thing that ours can sit beside and lose to: reference artifacts for subjective quality, or tests, measurements and reference implementations for engineering. Use a supplied bar. Otherwise find the concrete comparison that plays the role real Call of Duty screenshots played for [Claude of Duty](https://github.com/mshumer/Claude-of-Duty/blob/main/prompt.md); "better", "production-ready" or a self-written rubric is not a bar. The bar need not be reachable. Gather the reference material into the output location, record the bar with one sentence on why it fits, and continue without a permission round unless the caller asked to approve it. Reaching the bar means beating a reference, or matching a threshold bar such as a test suite, a target or an explicit "as good as". …

How to install
mdr add danmcinerney/orchflows/gauntlet-loop@sha256:5c222053679ad389The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.8df7a29, 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.
