Audit this plugin repo for two kinds of rot: documentation that no longer matches the shipped plugin, and internal bookkeeping that has leaked into files users receive. Derives every fact from the artifact itself — enums from the schema, counts from the filesystem, hook behavior by executing the hook — then fixes the docs and reports code defects separately. Use this whenever maintaining this repository: before a release or version bump, after removing/renaming/adding a skill, operation, hook…

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

# Harness maintenance audit

## What rots, and why it rots silently

This repo has an unusual shape that produces two specific failure modes.

**It is a product and its own blueprint.** `docs/` describes a plugin that `skills/`, `hooks/`,
`commands/` and `oracles/` actually implement. Both are prose-heavy, both are edited by hand, and
nothing mechanically ties a sentence in `docs/design/03-system-design.md` to the enum it describes.
So the docs drift, and they drift *plausibly* — a doc that says "11 workers" over a 10-member enum
reads perfectly.

**Not everything in the repo is product.** Development artifacts — benchmark numbers, internal
defect IDs, migration stage names, audit codenames, paths under `docs/`, `tests/`, `tools/`,
`evals/` — belong in the repo but not in what a user reads as the product. They leak easily,
because the person writing a code comment is holding all that context and it feels like useful
rationale at the time.

The leak that matters most is not in a code comment. `skills/*/SKILL.md` and
`skills/*/resources/*.md` and `skills/*/references/*.md` are **loaded by the model at runtime**, so a dangling
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nguyenvanphituoc/shapeup-sdlc-plugin/harness-maintenance-audit@sha256:fc1954ed7d2b93ec

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.7150974, 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.
