Consult an independent, read-only GPT-6 Astra advisor before committing to a substantive interpretation, approach, or final result. Not for routine work, implementation, or file edits. Uses gpt-6-astra at an effort matched to the question.
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
# Advisor (GPT-6 Astra) This is the Codex-native advisor maintained in this library. It is a single-turn, independent, read-only consult — not delegated implementation and not a substitute for the lead's judgment. <p align="center"><img src="assets/architecture.svg" alt="Codex advisor: the solver (any Codex lead) sends a self-contained briefing to an Astra advisor at an effort chosen for the question; the advisor returns one decisive read-only review" width="900"></p> Use a new output path or directory for each run; preserve earlier results and existing user edits. ## Choose the effort The advisor is `gpt-6-astra`. Pick its effort per consult from the difficulty and stakes of the question, and tell the user the level and reason in one line: | Effort | Use for | |---|---| | `high` (default) | a completion check, a bounded question with a checkable answer, a sanity read before writing | | `xhigh` | an interpretation or design decision, stuck or non-converging work, a change of approach | | `max` | rare: high-stakes and hard to verify, where a stronger read is worth the latency | …

How to install
mdr add scdenney/open-science-skills/advisor@sha256:9dc8699436d993bcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.c2a591c, 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.
