cold-review skillA

cold-review is agent-read markdown (skill) from cotal-ai/cotal: Write the brief for a single independent cold reviewer and grade what it returns, keeping it isolated from the panel that already graded the change. Read by whoever AUTHORS the brief; the graded seat never loads this file. Covers what the seat is given, what its verdict binds, who may override it, and how the rules degrade when the vendor set is short. Use when a panel has reached consensus and you want a second opinion consensus cannot anchor, when a change is security-sensitive or hard to reve.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
