egm-review SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

egm-review from google/elephant-goldfish-model is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add google/elephant-goldfish-model/egm-review@git:20261105.6a8001e

Pins git:20261105.6a8001e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Orchestrates the EGM Goldfish Review Protocol. Used as part of the EGM process to perform design document reviews. Executes five review phases: Initial Zoom Out Review, Comprehension Review, Design Critique, Intermediate Zoom Out Review, and Implementation Readiness.

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

# Review, Validation & Automated Remediation

When running in Codex or ChatGPT Work, first read [Codex integration](../../docs/codex.md).
In Claude Code or Cowork, read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/claude.md` first.

Reviews and validates a design document through specialized reviewer personas.

## Delegation

A Goldfish runs in a fresh context with no conversation history. Spawn each
subagent with your harness's subagent tool (Antigravity: `invoke_subagent`; Claude Code: `Agent`; Codex: `spawn_agent`). Each subagent is defined in `agents/<file>.md`, and its
frontmatter `name` (for example `egm-zoom-out`) is the subagent type to request
where your harness registers named subagents. Otherwise spawn a general-purpose
subagent and tell it to read that persona file first. Pass the prompt verbatim
and wait for the report. If your harness cannot nest subagents,
use direct dispatch instead of the synthesizer. See `docs/harnesses.md`.
If your harness has no subagent tool, stop and tell the user: a review in the same context is not a Goldfish review.

## Execution Constraints (CRITICAL)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add google/elephant-goldfish-model/egm-review@sha256:a17ee3b983bcd770

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.6a8001e, 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.
