Grade an artifact with a mechanical precheck plus two independent judges (Fable + Codex). Building agent must not self-grade. Use for /grade, /holdings-sheet-swarm-grade, sheet/report second opinions, or when a PASS from the author alone is not enough. Domain files under domains/ bind coding vs equities triggers and cwd scripts.
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
# Independent judge swarm Second opinions from judges that did **not** build the artifact. Mechanical precheck first, then Fable + Codex in parallel. On FAIL, run `thrash-reflect-automate` — do not re-prompt the user for that sequence. ## Domain selector After reading this file, read **at most one** sibling `domains/<type>.md`: 1. User named the type (`coding`, `equities`, holdings, claim research). 2. Else cwd has `.cursor/judge-swarm-bindings.json`, or equities trigger words (holdings, Sheets, research report) → `equities`; Invoker / catstack / `package.json` without those → `coding`. 3. Else none. Do not read both in one turn. ## Invariants (assert) - The building agent MUST NOT be the sole judge. - Run a **mechanical precheck** before or beside LLM judges when a script exists; LLM PASS alone is not enough when invent/uniqueness can hide. - Use **two independent judges** (Fable + Codex) in parallel when both are available. If one is missing auth, report that and still run the other. - Prefer local evidence files over “looks fine in the UI.” - If judges disagree on a blocking check, report BOTH and treat as `needs_work`. - Do not paraphrase away a FAIL. …

How to install
mdr add edbertchan/catstack/independent-judge-swarm@sha256:bce19ed5ffa60043The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.dcf651e, 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.
