Before declaring a new or substantively-revised governance document complete, dispatch a fresh subagent with no session context to read the document and surface tacit-context gaps (ambiguous terms, missing definitions, implicit assumptions, unresolved references that the author knows but did not write down). Catches the failure mode the author cannot catch directly: the "I know what I meant" blind spot that fills the document's gaps invisibly during authoring.
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
# Fresh Reader Validation ## Overview An author who has just written a document carries the document's tacit context in their head. The terms they used, the assumptions they made, the references they treated as obvious, these all feel anchored to the reader from the author's vantage point, because the author has the anchors. A fresh reader, with no project context loaded, has only what is on the page. Where the page leaves something tacit, the fresh reader sees the gap that the author cannot see. This skill uses a fresh subagent (no session history, no other files loaded, no shared context) to read a newly-authored or substantively-revised governance document and surface the gaps the author's tacit context filled invisibly. The pattern is borrowed from Anthropic's `doc-coauthoring` skill's "fresh-Claude reader testing" stage, re-derived in this pack as a standalone verification step. …

How to install
mdr add jposluns/grc_library/fresh-reader-validation@sha256:31576931192eef19The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260803.50c809a, 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.
