Read-only audit of brief source performance. Scans recent brief frontmatter (sources_used, sources_skipped, sources_quiet) for 3+ consecutive quiet or skipped streaks, plus a fetch_log-based cost-efficiency analysis. Never modifies feed-sources.md. Invoke with /hermitd-feed:source-health [--last N].
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
# Source Health Read-only audit of brief source performance. Scans recent briefs and flags underperforming sources before they silently waste fetch budget. ## When to use - Manually, to spot-check source health. - Wired into weekly review to catch slow-building problems. - After adding a new source, to confirm it's yielding items. ## Steps 1. **Read `feed-sources.md`** — extract the active source names (Name column). 2. **Glob briefs** — list `.hermit/briefs/*.md`, sort descending by filename (newest first), take the last **N = 10** (override with `--last N`). 3. **Parse each brief's frontmatter** — extract: - `sources_used`: sources that contributed ≥1 item. - `sources_skipped`: sources that failed to fetch (network error, Chrome unavailable, script error). - `sources_quiet`: sources that fetched cleanly but yielded 0 items. - `fetch_log`: per-source efficiency array (may be absent in older briefs — treat as missing, not an error). If a source appears in none of the three arrays, mark it `unknown` for that brief (may predate the schema). 4. **Compute per-source streaks** — walking newest→oldest for each active source: …

How to install
mdr add gtapps/hermitd/source-health@sha256:92966be398e029efThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.2f2da1b, 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.
