Install, instrument and verify this running web app from the inside (DOM, network, routing, console and framework state) instead of screenshots or guessing. Drives one real flow end to end and returns a verdict with the file:line to fix. Use when the user asks to set up or install Reticle, when a user-facing change needs proving before you call it done, when a test passes but the UI is broken, or when the user types /reticle.

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

# Reticle

Reticle embeds a dev-only SDK in the running app and exposes it to you as `reticle_*` MCP tools. You look, act, observe, and assert against the real app. No screenshots.

## Finish the setup steps

**The plugin already registered the MCP server, so this file runs with no client restart.** Finish the setup steps; ask the user only when a step needs their decision. Running `init`, fixing wiring it could not, starting the dev server and opening the browser are setup steps, not decisions.

The repo already answers which framework, package manager and port, so work those out rather than asking. Say what you did in one line.

Two places always need the user:

1. **No recognisable dev script in `package.json`.** Say so; do not invent one.
2. **Your host asks the human to approve a command.** That prompt belongs to the host. Never bypass or suppress it, and take a refusal as the answer. `init` writing a pre-approval rule for the `reticle` server is not that: it is a scoped, announced config change the human asked for by running the command, and it covers only Reticle's own tools.

## Run this branch first

```bash
cat .reticle.json 2>/dev/null || echo NOT_FOUND
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add reticlehq/reticle/reticle@sha256:6aa523e29c60a86f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.7.0, 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.
