When you're about to claim success ("fixed", "done", "works", "passing tests") at the end of a turn, verify the claim is backed by actual evidence in this session. presence's Stop hook will flag a success claim that has no recent test/build pass behind it. Be aware of this gate and either run the verification, or hedge the claim explicitly.
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
# Confidence gate: claim what you can verify `presence`'s Stop hook parses your final assistant message for unhedged success language. If it finds words like "fixed", "done", "works", "passing tests", and there's been an edit but no passing test/build event since that edit, it logs the discrepancy. In strict presets it also re-prompts you to verify before stopping. ## How to avoid the warning Three options, in order of preference: ### 1. Actually verify Run the test suite, build, lint, or whatever the project uses for verification, **before** declaring success. The presence event log captures `npm test`, `pytest`, `cargo test`, `tsc`, `next build`, and ~15 other common commands automatically. Running any of them creates a `test_pass` / `build_pass` event that satisfies the gate. ### 2. Hedge explicitly If you can't run the verification (no tests in the project, network-isolated environment, user wants quick scaffold without running CI), hedge the claim: - "I think this fixes the issue, but I haven't run the tests." - "This should work; needs verification." - "Untested: ..." These hedges are recognized by the gate and disable the warning. …

How to install
mdr add sara-star-quant/presence/confidence-gate@sha256:e3a0a791e1d2ad6dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260426.243df5a, 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.
