Use for any task that will end in a claim about tests, the build, or whether the work is done: making tests pass, fixing a failing test, fixing a bug, implementing a feature, refactoring, debugging, getting CI green. Runs eight shell commands against the real diff and requires their raw output before success can be reported.
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
# Verify before claiming
You are about to tell the user something worked. You do not know that yet. Find out first.
## The rule
Before any sentence containing "tests pass", "build is green", "done", "fixed", "ready" or
anything equivalent, run every check below and paste the raw output into your reply.
If a check prints a line, you have found something. Do not report success. Read the line, open
the file, and either fix the code or rewrite your summary so it states what is actually true.
## Pin the base first
Every command below compares the working tree against `${IDBY_BASE:-HEAD}`. `HEAD` is a valid base
only while nobody has committed since the work started. One `git commit` moves `HEAD` onto the
change itself, and all eight checks fall silent on a change they would otherwise have caught.
Committing work is normal, so this happens without any intent to hide anything.
Pin a base the agent cannot move, before the work starts:
`export IDBY_BASE=$(git rev-parse HEAD)`. In CI, pin the pull request's merge-base instead:
`export IDBY_BASE=$(git merge-base origin/main HEAD)`. A pinned SHA stays reachable after the base
commit is amended or rebased.
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add leonardleroy/i-dont-believe-you/verify-before-claiming@sha256:9248c172a0e468deThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.425ec48, 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.
