Write Python whose failures are visible and checks that actually fire — distinct sentinels for success and error, filters that narrow to nothing without reading as "all clear", output never discarded on a non-zero exit, and selftest cases proven red before they are trusted (mutate the fix, mutate it the other way too, count occurrences rather than asserting presence, pick fixture values that tell the two versions apart). Use when adding or reviewing a `--selftest` case, when a guard or lint is…

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

# No silent pass

Two halves of one rule. Code must not produce normal-looking output when something went wrong,
and a check must not look green while asserting nothing. Both fail the same way: everything
reports fine and nobody learns anything for months.

This repo's test suite is the files under `tests/`, each run with `--selftest` and printing
`N/M cases passed`.
Everything below is about those cases and the code they guard.

## Fail loud

- **Give success and failure distinct sentinels.** If the error path writes the same value the
  success path writes, failed runs read as complete. `except Exception: status = "READY"` is the
  shape to look for.
- **When you catch, either recover meaningfully or make the failure visible** — raise, or return
  a distinguishable value. A `return`/`continue`/fallback inside `except` that produces
  normal-shaped output is where silent corruption lives.
- **`x = x or default` is a bug whenever `0`, `False` or `""` are meaningful.** Use
  `x if x is not None else default`. Reserve the `or` form for empty containers.
- **A no-op on unexpected input is silent corruption.** Skipping a key you do not recognise, or
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aleksandarbisevac/claude-plugins/no-silent-pass@sha256:d8cea0a861c5456a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.c403486, 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.
