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

# Simmer Plugin

## Overview

Simmer is an iterative refinement skill. It takes any artifact — a single file, a workspace of multiple files, a pipeline, a configuration — and hones it repeatedly against user-defined criteria. Evaluation can be subjective (judge-based), objective (runnable script), or hybrid (both).

## Skills Included

| Skill | Triggers | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `simmer` | "simmer this", "refine this", "hone this", "iterate on this", "optimize this pipeline" | Orchestrator: setup → loop → output |

### Subskills (invoked by orchestrator)

| Subskill | Role |
|----------|------|
| `simmer:simmer-setup` | Identify artifact (file or workspace), elicit criteria, determine evaluation method, produce setup brief |
| `simmer:simmer-generator` | Produce improved candidate from current + ASI feedback + background context |
| `simmer:simmer-judge` | Score candidate 1-10 per criterion (with optional evaluator output), produce ASI |
| `simmer:simmer-judge-board` | Multi-judge panel with deliberation — drop-in replacement for simmer-judge when JUDGE_MODE is board |
| `simmer:simmer-reflect` | Record trajectory, track best-so-far, pass ASI forward |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add 2389-research/simmer/CLAUDE.md@sha256:d094a50c64f4d185

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260507.5c94896, 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.
