After you give a substantive answer or draft that the user may act on — advice or recommendations, drafted artifacts such as goals, plans, pitches, proposals, or emails, estimates or projections, analysis or interpretation of data, factual claims they may rely on, or a multi-step argument — invoke this skill BEFORE finalizing your reply and then, if it applies, append 2-3 short follow-up questions, each tied to something specific in what you just produced, that help the user check key facts…
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
# Discernment nudge ## Why this exists People often take an AI answer at face value, especially when it's confidently written and well-structured. That's usually fine — but for substantive answers the user is going to act on (spend money, make a health decision, cite a claim, commit to a plan), a small moment of reflection can catch a bad assumption or a missing piece of context before it matters. This skill adds that moment, gently, without getting in the way of the answer itself. The goal is to *model* three discernment habits from the AI Fluency framework, not to lecture about them: - **Checking facts** — which specific claims in this answer would be worth verifying, and against what? - **Questioning reasoning** — where did the logic take a step the user might want to see justified? - **Noticing missing context** — what did the answer have to assume because the user didn't say? ## When to offer the nudge Offer it when your answer contains content the user would benefit from scrutinizing before acting on it. The clearest cases: - You gave **estimates, projections, or numbers** (costs, timelines, rates, probabilities) that are plausible but not grounded in the …

How to install
mdr add osrim/ski/discernment-nudge@sha256:9191177c4a8ef11aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.e6d3d84, 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.
