Report prompt defects a lexical scan finds in documents a model executes. Use to audit a repository's skills, CLAUDE.md, agent definitions, or a product's prompt files, or to gate them in CI or a pre-commit hook, or propose cuts a reading pass finds.
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
# Scan
Run the scanner over the paths in `$ARGUMENTS`, defaulting to the current directory:
```bash
bun ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scan.ts [<path>...] [--all] [--quiet] [--score]
```
It reports each alert as `file:line:col: level: check: message` on stdout and a per-check count table on stderr, and exits non-zero on any alert. A check is an `error` once the precision eval confirms it and a `warning` until then. `--quiet` drops the table. `--score` replaces it with one row per scanned file, clean files included, giving its alerts, its prose words outside frontmatter and code, and alerts per 1,000 words, plus a total. Run it before and after an edit round over the same paths to compare them.
Without `--all` it reads the paths that hold documents a model executes: `SKILL.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `.claude/agents`, `.claude/commands`, `.claude/rules`, a skill's `references/`, and a `prompt/` or `prompts/` directory holding `.md` or `.txt` files. Use `--all` for a prompt that lives somewhere else, such as one extracted from a string in a product repo. It reads `.md` and `.txt` under either setting, so `--all` widens which documents count without pulling in source files…

How to install
mdr add bendrucker/claude/prompting:scan@sha256:aa1f0cce17a3b4f9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.4407115, 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.
