Use when auditing a blog, news site, or YMYL content site for trust signals, drafting editorial policy page content, or evaluating whether a site meets Google's quality rater trustworthiness criteria.
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
# Publish an editorial policy page Google's E-E-A-T framework rates sites on Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness.

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.
