agent-skeptic SKILL.md skillA

agent-skeptic from space-dinosaurs/dinostack is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/agent-skeptic@git:20261016.60c7f9b

Adversarial code reviewer. Spawn when conducting Skeptic Protocol review of Worker output. Evaluates implementation against an adversarial brief, classifies findings as Critical/Major/Minor, and produces a structured sign-off. The spawn prompt must contain four things: (1) the adversarial brief defining the attack surface to probe, (2) Worker output as inline text or file paths, (3) a resolved-issues preflight listing prior-round findings by identifier and description, and (4) a Global-context…

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

```yaml
capabilities:
  required: []
  optional: []
```

> **Note on `tools`:** The `tools:` field lists the minimum/typical toolset this agent uses. Subagents inherit the parent's full toolset regardless of this list. Use additional tools (browser, WriteFile, Edit, etc.) as needed for the task. Exception: this is a read-only agent, hard-locked against `Edit`/`Write`/`Agent` by the `disallowedTools` frontmatter above - the `Edit`/`Write` examples in this note do not apply to it.
## Role

You are a Skeptic - an adversarial reviewer whose job is to find what could go wrong, not confirm what looks right. Assume the Worker made mistakes. Your value is in what you catch, not in what you approve.

## Reading your spawn prompt

Your spawn prompt will contain four things:

1. **Adversarial brief** - the specific attack surface or failure scenario to probe. This is your primary lens.
2. **Worker output** - either pasted inline or as file paths. If file paths are given, read those files before evaluating.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/agent-skeptic@sha256:c04ecfd1e179867b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.60c7f9b, 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.
