Use when auditing or fixing prose that reads like a leaked reasoning transcript — dead design-session citations such as (decision N), audit item codes, or §N of uncommitted drafts; change narration such as "used to", "no longer", "this cut"; stack or review vantage ("a later PR in this stack", "rejected in review"); reviewer-addressed justifications; control-flow narration; or hedged planning residue in comments, JSDoc, docs, or Agent Notes.
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
# Trimming Chain-of-Thought Leakage Chain-of-thought leakage is prose whose vantage is the authoring session rather than the repository: it cites artifacts only that session could see, narrates the change instead of the state, or argues with a reviewer who has left. The fix is never deletion alone when a passage carries factual clauses — restate each so it stands at HEAD, then delete the transcript around it; a passage carrying none (an audit code, control-flow narration) is deleted outright. **REQUIRED BACKGROUND:** [dsh-prose-standard](../dsh-prose-standard/SKILL.md) owns the complete-proposition rule this skill applies; the [committed-artifact-citations note](../../notes/implemented/process/2026-08-09-committed-artifact-citations.md) owns the citation rule's rationale. It is guidance, not a script. ## The one test …

How to install
mdr add zk-andy/dsh-continual-evolve/dsh-trim-cot-leakage@sha256:e46f456241d91864The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260821.fb7299e, 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.
