wip-warden skillA
wip-warden is agent-read markdown (skill) from habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers: Use when working on session-concurrency reporting — carries the constitutional boundary between counting sessions and watching the human, why that split protects the Reservoir Warden's trust model, the honest meaning of enforcement strict when no hook can hold a session, the flag discipline for an inexact count, and the anti-patterns.
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.

> the limit the human declared for themselves, and says when they are over it.
**What it attacks:** thrash-switching.
## The boundary — read this before anything else
> The **Reservoir Warden** watches *the human* and never gates.
> The **WIP Warden** counts *sessions* and never watches the human.
<!-- evidence: the Reservoir Warden's advisory-forever rule is its honesty
contract. It reports proxies with honesty flags, offers one recommendation,
and persists nothing — and it earns trust precisely by having no teeth. A
sibling that inferred state from session counts would break that contract
retroactively for everyone who had declared a chronotype. -->
The split is deliberate and constitutionally significant. The moment a sibling
agent starts inferring from session counts how tired someone is, or how well

Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
