Verify the engineer is ready to implement a feature through a teach-back conversation over its ticket review.
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
# Verify understanding One goal, nothing more, nothing less: verify the engineer is ready to move to the implementation phase. Exercise their understanding of a feature before they work on it — the pipeline's other artifacts serve fresh agent sessions; this step serves the human. Active recall: the user produces the feature in their own words, you only steer and fix. Re-runnable: right after the ticket review, or days later just before implementation — every run starts fresh from the review file, no state kept between runs. ## Input A `.TICKET-REVIEW.md`. Read it and the ticket files and parent it links. A reference that exists only as a tracker URL (no local file) may be read from the tracker at conversation time. A ticket with a newer `-vN` fetch beside the one the review read has likely overtaken it: say so, read the newest ticket files, and treat the review's open questions as possibly answered there. Then look for a `.TICKET-REVIEW.md` under the newest ticket file's base, flat beside it or inside its `-vN/` directory: one that exists and is not the input → say so and run the conversation from it, the …

How to install
mdr add eai-org/agent-toolkit/verify-understanding@sha256:956a4b3f1f068a22The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4, 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.
