Re-verify and extend catalog/model-registry.json — the fail-closed model-name and reasoning-effort matrix scripts/model-policy.mjs validates against — via delegated Context7-backed research, orchestrator-owned registry edits, and the full validation chain; use when a policy check fails on an unregistered model, a provider ships new models, or the registry has gone stale.
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
# Model Registry Refresh ## Doctrine `catalog/model-registry.json` is the single source of truth `scripts/model-policy.mjs` fails closed against. Every model name and reasoning-effort value it accepts must trace to official documentation with a citation — never to memory, never to a plausible-sounding guess at a slug. This skill is the repeatable workflow for keeping that registry accurate without letting research cost dominate the orchestrator's context. ## When to run - `npm run model-policy:check` fails with an error naming a model "not in the verified model registry" — the registry is missing a model the policy (or an operator) wants to use. - A provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor) ships new models or retires old ones and the catalog needs to reflect current reality. - Quarterly staleness check — `last_refreshed` in `catalog/model-registry.json` is more than ~3 months old. ## Step 1 — delegate research to Haiku Explore agents Fan out one Haiku `Explore` agent per harness (or per namespace, for codex) using the Context7 MCP tools (`mcp__Context7__resolve-library-id` then `mcp__Context7__query-docs`) plus official docs …

How to install
mdr add vincentchuwaichow/vanguard-frontier-agentic/model-registry-refresh@sha256:71ffdbb318a52cadThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.a3c9ee6, 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.
