Read-only audit of custom lint and ratchet rules: is each rule right on the merits, not just enforced. Use when "is this lint rule wrong", "the ratchet banned a legitimate pattern", or "audit our guardrail doctrine". Enforcement → audit-gate-logic.
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
# audit-doctrine — Is the rule right, not merely enforced? **Degree of freedom: MIXED.** - Reference-practice comparison and remedy judgment (Phases 1–2): **HIGH freedom** — weigh each rule against how top products actually build. - Governance-contract checks (Phases 3–4): **LOW freedom** — the contract's clauses are pass/fail; check each exactly. Read-only. **`audit-gate-logic` asks "can this gate be bypassed or gamed?" — it assumes the rule is correct. This asks the harder question: is the rule right on the merits?** A ratchet that flawlessly enforces bad doctrine is worse than no ratchet, because greenness certifies the mistake and the developer, given only a codemod list, restyles legitimate work to appease a regex instead of fixing a real problem. An unexplained lint rejection erodes trust at that decision point until people "adopt their own truth." This audit finds the rules that are measuring taste, not correctness. Present findings. Do not rewrite detectors, baselines, or tokens here. ## This skill vs neighbors | Skill | Owns | |---|---| | **audit-doctrine** (this) | Rule *content* — remedy, named token, Tier-D practice | …

How to install
mdr add kensaurus/skills/audit-doctrine@sha256:a73dffe1bd94a9cbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.68c095e, 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.
