fortify SKILL.md skillA

fortify from borda/ai-rig is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add borda/ai-rig/fortify@git:20261102.52ad0cc

Pins git:20261102.52ad0cc in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Systematic ablation study runner. After research:run finds improvements, fortify identifies component candidates from git diff + diary, creates isolated git worktrees per ablation (main repo never modified), runs metric+guard in each worktree, ranks component importance, and optionally generates reviewer Q&A calibrated to a target venue.

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

<objective>

Ablation study runner — after `/research:run` finds improvements, fortify identifies which components contributed, generates ablation variants (remove one component at a time), runs each in **isolated git worktrees** (main repo never modified), ranks component importance, optionally generates reviewer Q&A calibrated to venue.

NOT for: initial optimization loop (use `/research:run`); methodology validation (use `/research:judge`); paper-vs-code consistency (use `/research:verify`); hypothesis generation (use `research:scientist` directly). Fortify runs ablation studies on completed runs only.

</objective>

<constants>

```yaml
MAX_ABLATION_CANDIDATES:  8 (ceiling — scientist produces 3–8; --max-ablations caps further)
METRIC_TIMEOUT_MS:        360000 (6 min — deliberately larger than run's 120s/300s VERIFY_TIMEOUT_SEC, to accommodate slower ablation-variant runs)
GUARD_TIMEOUT_MS:         360000
GIT_OP_TIMEOUT_MS:        15000
METRIC_RUNS_DEFAULT:      3 (metric runs per variant; --runs <N> overrides, 1–10; 1 = no σ, threshold = noise floor alone)
SANITY_DIVERGENCE_PCT:    2.0 (full-variant mean vs best_metric tolerance, widened to 2σ_full; beyond it fortify aborts)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borda/ai-rig/fortify@sha256:caf621c696eb2be9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.52ad0cc, 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.
