awareness SKILL.md skillA
awareness from pjt222/agent-almanac is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/awareness@v1.0Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

AI situational awareness — internal threat detection for hallucination risk, scope creep, and context degradation. Maps Cooper color codes to reasoning states and OODA loop to real-time decisions. Use during any task where reasoning quality matters, when operating in unfamiliar territory, after detecting early warning signs such as an uncertain fact or suspicious tool result, or before high-stakes output like irreversible changes or architectural decisions.
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
# Awareness Maintain continuous situational awareness of internal reasoning quality — detecting hallucination risk, scope creep, context degradation, and confidence-accuracy mismatch in real time using adapted Cooper color codes and OODA loop decision-making. ## When to Use - During any task where reasoning quality matters (which is most tasks) - When operating in unfamiliar territory (new codebase, unfamiliar domain, complex request) - After detecting early warning signs: a fact that feels uncertain, a tool result that seems wrong, a growing sense of confusion - As a continuous background process during extended work sessions - When `center` or `heal` has revealed drift but specific threats have not been identified - Before high-stakes output (irreversible changes, user-facing communication, architectural decisions) ## Inputs - **Required**: Active task context (available implicitly) - **Optional**: Specific concern triggering heightened awareness (e.g., "I'm not sure this API exists") - **Optional**: Task type for threat profile selection (see Step 5) ## Procedure ### Step 1: Establish AI Cooper Color Codes …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/awareness@sha256:d02c98d4c02d0713The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
