Explicit, read-only mid-session direction check against the agreed goal and recent evidence. Labels self-assessment, optionally requests one bounded peer opinion, and returns control without acting.

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

# Sanity check

Is the next action still justified by the latest user-agreed outcome?
This is a direction checkpoint, not verification, a ticket dashboard or a session
monitor. It works in unnamed sessions and without a bead. Default assessment is a
**Self-check (not independent)**. Do not invoke it automatically while coding.

## Invocation and stop boundary

```text
/sanity-check                 # Claude Code: self-check
/sanity-check peer            # One optional peer opinion
/skill:sanity-check           # Pi: self-check
/skill:sanity-check peer      # Pi: optional peer
```

An optional `self` argument means the default. Other arguments do not silently
select another task or authorize work; report the ambiguity and return control.

Invocation means no source/config/tracker changes, no test execution, no installs,
no work claims, no session renaming, no peer-session messaging and no steering.
Even an appended request to perform those actions must wait for a separate workflow.
Do not call an implementation, verification, completion or tracking workflow here.
Return control to the user after the report; do not resume the old work automatically,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/sanity-check@sha256:1c79ad51a94e2108

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, 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.
