Validate a bugfix or feature against the REAL running system — execute the user's cURL, assert actual responses, check persisted database state, and drive the UI end-to-end — instead of assuming the code change works. Use whenever the user provides a cURL command, a localhost/endpoint URL, or asks to "validate", "test it for real", "check the database", "no assumptions", or when finishing a bugfix/feature in a project with a running server. The user's cURL IS the acceptance test. Not a…
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
# Validating in reality A change isn't done because the code looks right — it's done when the **running system proves it**. This skill turns a user-provided cURL (or endpoint, or repro) into the acceptance test, and replaces "should work" with pasted evidence. ## Read first (always) List `learnings/` and read anything relevant — how this project starts its server, seeds data, connects to the DB, and authenticates test requests lives there and overrides the defaults here. ## The principle: evidence over inference Reading the diff tells you what the code *should* do. Only the running system tells you what it *does*. When the user supplies a cURL, an endpoint, or a repro, that artifact is the **definition of done** — the task is complete when it behaves correctly against the live system, and you have the output to show it. ## Workflow 1. **Confirm the system is running.** Find the server (the project's run command, `docker compose ps`, the port in the cURL). If nothing is running and you can't start it with the project's documented command, **say so explicitly and stop** — never simulate a validation you didn't run. …

How to install
mdr add cristhianzl/claude-skills-czl/validating-in-reality@sha256:63fb1616ce661611The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260806.29b92b9, 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.
