Prove existing work meets acceptance conditions without expanding scope. Use for validation-only tasks, completion checks, focused gate runs, and last-mile proof.
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 and stop Translate acceptance conditions into smallest sufficient proof set. - Reuse still-current results with matching repository state. - Run focused checks before wider gates. - Distinguish pass, fail, unavailable, and blocked exactly. - Do not edit product code unless verification request includes fixes. - Do not add polish, cleanup, or unrelated tests after criteria pass. Stop immediately when acceptance proof is complete. Report commands, results, and unresolved risk only.

How to install
mdr add juliusbrussee/caveman/verify-and-stop@sha256:3d5599f49771b864The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260811.82864c8, 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.
