Define executable acceptance for a bounded task before work or dispatch. Use when writing a worker brief, selecting success checks, or repairing an acceptance contract that cannot test the intended outcome.

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

# Acceptance design

Acceptance connects the user's outcome to an observable check. Design it before
implementation, and give the worker the exact contract the reviewer will use.
These are operational instructions, not measured failure-rate claims.

## Define the experiment

1. Name the outcome, affected boundary and scope. Check the command, loader,
   artifact or user flow actually affected; a helper test alone may miss the
   boundary defect. Identify what the check deliberately leaves untested.
2. Name the target host or platform, runner, dependencies, permissions and
   inputs. Confirm required source files exist in the delivered base and
   travel with the brief. Distinguish existing input paths from files to create.
3. Record the exact command, expected observable result and evidence location.
   Test that it launches on the target environment before dispatch. Prefer a
   repository script when shell quoting or setup would make the command fragile.
   Do not depend on an undocumented interpreter or hidden login state.
4. Scope every planned write, including tests and generated artifacts. Make
   predecessors available in the delivered base, or route the task to a
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add grit-77/done-is-a-claim/acceptance-design@sha256:a490f8af1e717254

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.419d0bb, 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.
