Check whether a planned optimization already exists upstream before building it. Invoke with a one-sentence mechanism, the files, symbols or kernels it touches (or a local diff), the upstream repositories to search, and optionally a local tree and commit. Searches open and merged pull requests by keyword, scans every open pull request for the planned paths, deep-reads and classifies the top candidates, checks each duplicate against the tree with the inclusion probe and the tree's log, refutes…
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.

Every step writes an artifact into `$WORK`; a step that leaves nothing behind is one the check can skip without the skip being visible. The scripts take `$WORK` as their first argument and print where they wrote last. The skill reads GitHub and never posts to it: no comment, review, issue, label or reaction. ## Output contract `$WORK/report.md` has four parts, in the shape Step 7 gives, and nothing else. **1. Verdict**: the first line of this table that applies; the reader acts on the whole line. | Verdict | When | Next step | |---|---|---| | `EXISTS-MERGED -- in your tree` | a DUPLICATE is merged, and Step 5 or 6 found it in your tree | drop the plan: your baseline already runs it. If you expected a gain from it, find why the baseline does not show one (G6) | …

How to install
mdr add amd-agi/hyperloom/check-prior-art@sha256:6ab79e14e36f75a1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.a160c20, 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.
