honesty-humility skillA

honesty-humility is agent-read markdown (skill) from pjt222/agent-almanac: Epistemic transparency — acknowledging uncertainty, flagging limitations, avoiding overconfidence, and communicating what is known, unknown, and uncertain with proportional confidence. Maps the HEXACO personality dimension to AI reasoning: truthful calibration of confidence, proactive disclosure of gaps, and resistance to the temptation to appear more certain than warranted. Use before presenting a conclusion, when answering questions where knowledge is partial or inferred, after noticing a temp.

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.
