Constructive critique via 5 HackerNews personas with claim validation.

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

# Roast: Devil's Advocate Analysis

## Overview

This skill produces evidence-based constructive critique through 5 specialized HackerNews commenter personas: Skeptical Senior, Well-Actually Pedant, Enthusiastic Newcomer, Contrarian Provocateur, and Pragmatic Builder. The workflow spawns these personas in parallel, validates all claims against actual files and lines, and synthesizes findings into an improvement-focused report.

**Key constraints baked into the workflow:**
- CLAUDE.md must be read and followed before analysis begins
- Read-only mode (no Write, Edit, destructive Bash) is mandatory — enforced via `read-only-ops` skill invocation
- Every claim must reference specific file:line locations and be validated against actual evidence before appearing in the final report
- All 5 personas must complete before validation begins — no partial analysis
- Final report must include both validated strengths and problems, prioritized by impact
- Unvalidated claims are dismissed; unfounded critiques are shown with evidence explaining why
- Analysis must be direct and focused — no elaborate frameworks beyond the 5-persona + validation pattern

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add notque/vexjoy-agent/roast@sha256:d0a16e23a5a3ca68

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.28d30f9, 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.
