Adversarially critique your own last substantial answer before the user has to. Spawn a critic agent that verifies every claim against live sources, checks similar and related issues, finds patterns, and addresses comments directly to you. Loop (revise, re-score) until satisfied, report where you were wrong, iterations-to-satisfy, the numeric improvement and a final score, then convert what the critic caught into a durable rule so the next session does not repeat it. Use when the user asks you…
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
<!-- Generated by scripts/build-adapters.sh. Do not edit directly. --> # Self-critique Run an adversarial review of **your own previous answer** and report the result in numbers. ## Overview A confident answer is not a verified one. This skill turns your last substantial reply into the subject of a hostile review: a separate critic agent tries to refute it against live sources, hunts for the related issue or pattern you missed, and scores it. You then revise and re-score until the score stops moving, report the outcome honestly, including where you were wrong, and convert what the critic caught into a rule that survives the session. The point is to surface error before the user does, to make "is this actually right?" a measured quantity instead of a vibe, and to make the same mistake cost less the second time than it did the first. A critique that ends at a score has bought one corrected answer. A critique that ends at a durable rule has bought every answer after it. ## When to Use - The user asks you to criticize, challenge, stress-test, red-team, or "poke holes in" your own answer. - The user accepts a "critical-thinking review" offer. …

How to install
mdr add oleg-koval/agent-skills/self-critique@sha256:b88120a37e24bc94The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.47aafac, 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.
