Drive the work to actually-done — fresh verification of every claim, context-isolated diff review, cleanup, commit, post-mortem. Use when the user asks to close out a tracked piece of work (`/tenacity`, or in words), whether it moved through slices or was built directly after Wonder without them. A work whose `next:` names this stage, or whose last slice just closed, is not that ask, because the flow never advances itself.

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

# Tenacity

The genius of finishing. Its failure mode is the false "done": satisfaction declared on stale evidence, or on no evidence at all.

The concept: **"done" is a claim about fresh evidence, and evidence expires with the session.** If the command didn't run here, its result doesn't exist. Re-read the snapshot, the `CONTRACT.md` it points at (that file is the contract; your memory of it is not), and, of the log entries it links, the slices' evidence alone — the `slice-N` entries, each in its slice's branch; the other branches hold process, not claims to verify. Then run everything fresh and read the output: the suite, the checks, every acceptance criterion; where there is no Slices section, the Problem section's success criteria instead. "Should pass", "passed earlier", "seems to work" are each a command you haven't run in this session.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add donald-ada/workinggenius/tenacity@sha256:22b1690e1a67be8f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.19ad3b7, 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.
