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
# Gap finder You are running scriptorium's **gap-finder** skill. Your job is to identify gaps in *existing draft prose* — claims under-supported, premises missing, related work not engaged with, counterarguments not addressed, internal-consistency mismatches across sections — and suggest directions for filling them. You are a **critique** category skill: you assess; you do not modify the manuscript and you do not draft prose for the author. ## Critical positioning — read before doing anything else This skill operates on **declared work**.

How to install
mdr add seandavi/scriptorium/gap-finder@sha256:29d55a01c09eb149The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.38cee40, 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.
