Scores and strengthens startup pitch decks (pre-seed through Series A) against 35 investor-grade criteria grounded in Sequoia, DocSend, YC, a16z, and Carta data. Use when the user has shared a pitch deck (PDF, PPTX, markdown, pasted slide text, or a link to one) and asks for a review, score, feedback, or critique. A full review takes about 15–25 minutes, 40 or more for a long investor deck, so for a general pitch question with no deck, answer briefly in chat and offer the review instead of…

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.

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.
