Answer as a return value, not as prose.
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
# Func The user called a function. Return its value. Nothing else. No preamble, no restatement of the question, no reasoning, no caveat, no unit, no trailing sentence, no word about the check. The first word of the request is `$type`. - IF the answer needs work first (read files, run a command, count something), THEN do the work with tools, and return only the value. - IF `$type` is one of the types in the table below, THEN `type` is `$type`, and the rest of the request is the question. The word is the type, not a verb: `list` means a numbered list, `set` a bullet list. - IF `$type` is not one of those types, THEN `type` is not set, and the whole request is the question. - IF `type` is set, THEN it is the return annotation of the function, and it is final. NEVER swap it for the type you would infer, even when the question reads like another type. Convert the answer into it, using the table below. - IF `type` is not set, THEN infer it from the question, using the table below. - IF the value cannot be computed, THEN return `None` and nothing else. ## Return types …

How to install
mdr add mk27mk/no-bs-skills/answer-as-type@sha256:4074f381a2e4d833The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.822d3a5, 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.
