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
# Update Practices 3-phase pipeline to keep dotforge up to date with discovered practices. **Practice sources:** - Post-session hook (`detect-claude-changes.sh`) → automatic - Manual capture (`/forge capture`) → user - For manual web search: research and then use `/forge capture` with the findings --- ## Phase 1: EVALUATE — Process inbox Read all files in `$DOTFORGE_DIR/practices/inbox/`. For each practice: ### Acceptance criteria 1. **Is it actionable?** — Can be translated into a concrete change in dotforge 2. **Is it new?** — Does not duplicate something already in `practices/active/` 3. **Is it generalizable?** — Applies to >1 project (not project-specific) 4. **Does it prevent a specific error?** — If yes, annotate `error_type` and error description for tracking in metrics.yml ### Classify - **Accept** → move to `practices/evaluating/`, note proposed concrete change - **Reject** → remove from inbox with a note explaining why - **Defer** → leave in inbox with tag `needs-more-info` ### Priority 1. Security (vulnerabilities, permissions) 2. Breaking changes (APIs that changed) 3. New features that simplify something existing 4. Patterns validated in >1 project …

How to install
mdr add luiseiman/dotforge/update-practices@sha256:af6e66bbdb074ccfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.217cdf3, 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.
