Assess whether an unfamiliar repository can be changed reliably by mapping semantic authority through consumers, projections, and validation, then make only authorized improvements. Use for onboarding vibe-coded, inherited, or long-lived multi-team codebases, or requests to make a project agent-ready, assess agentic readiness, or perform a readiness check. Do not use for a known cleanup-only task or a routine guidance correction with an already settled owner.
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
# Make an unfamiliar repository safe to change Build an evidence-backed map that lets a newcomer find the real owner of a change, its complete footprint, and the checks that keep it coherent. Diagnose before improving. Do not treat existing structure as intentional merely because it exists. ## Choose the assessment boundary Use **representative mode** by default. Select one meaningful supported change path and enough neighboring consumers to test whether the same ownership story holds. State that the result is bounded and do not turn it into a whole-repository claim. Use **whole-repository mode** only when the user explicitly asks for complete coverage. Enumerate every supported runtime and public entry point, agent and plugin surface, product and contributor document, generated projection and generator, development tool and configuration, packaging and dependency surface, CI path, and test-evidence surface. Assign each surface to a traced change path, a non-routing role, or an explicit unresolved disposition. Assessment is read-only unless the user has also asked for improvements. Treat audit findings as evidence, not mutation authority. …

How to install
mdr add valsteen/pinboard/repository-readiness@sha256:a5b7fcca92bfa054The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.09e7ff4, 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.
