Use this skill when deciding how much a GTM agent may do without a human looking, when a workflow is ready to run on a schedule, when outreach should stop requiring per-item approval, and when something has gone wrong and autonomy needs pulling back. Produces a level per task with the evidence required to move up and the triggers that drop it automatically. Trigger phrasings: "can I let the agent send", "when do I stop reviewing every draft", "how much should I automate…
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.

Produces a level per task, the evidence needed to raise it, and the triggers that lower it without asking. ## The one-line law Autonomy is granted per task, not per agent, and only against logged evidence. New tasks start at full review. One agent can be trusted to qualify accounts unattended while its enrichment is still spot-checked. Granting autonomy to an agent rather than a task is how a good record on the easy work buys freedom on the risky work. ## The four levels | Level | What ships | What reaches the human | |---|---|---| | **L0 Draft** | nothing with wording in it | every worded item, before it goes | | **L1 Spot-check** | items that passed the quality gate | a random sample, plus every low-confidence item | | **L2 Exception-only** | items that passed the gate | flagged, edge and high-risk items only | | **L3 Auto** | runs on schedule, ships on gate pass | a periodic digest, plus any guardrail trip | …

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.
