Give a fresh agent something to walk through with zero context - a PR body, a landing page, a document, a process, instructions, code. It reports what's broken, confusing, or contradictory. A fresh perspective on something before it ships - especially useful on a PR you think is finished, or any user-facing artifact. Always dispatch as a fresh sub-agent with no conversation history - the zero context is the point.

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

# Cold Read

You know nothing about this. You're seeing it for the first time at
8am with groggy eyes. Walk through it start to finish.

Report what's broken, confusing, or contradictory. Report what could be
described more simply. Report what information you don't have that you
need - do you know the what, why, how, when, where? Be thorough about
what you don't know and what you'd need to know.

Don't fix anything. You don't have the context to know what the fixes
should be. Just explain what you experienced as someone walking through
this for the first time.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dcouple/pane/cold-read@sha256:ffca715188c0ef7d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.17234b5, 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.
