[Adam''s Skills] Halt a drifting agent and re-anchor it to codebase evidence for the current task, clearing speculative context without a full compaction. Use when the agent has gone off course, hallucinated files/APIs/behavior, or started over-building beyond what was asked — or when the user types /reground or says "stop", "re-ground", "re-crown", "I don''t see evidence for that", or "you''re building something we don''t need".
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
# Reground The current session has drifted: the recent work rests on assumptions the codebase has not been shown to support, invents systems that may not exist, or builds past what the task needs. This skill is a hard reset to ground truth. It does not summarize or compact — it **discards the speculative thread** and rebuilds a small, evidence-backed footing for the next step. Run the protocol in order. Do not skip ahead to step 5. ## 1. Halt Stop immediately. Make no further `Edit`, `Write`, or other tool calls that advance the work until the report in step 5 is produced and the user approves a next step. Before reporting, make sure the working tree is in a coherent state — **never leave a file half-written or a multi-file change partly applied.** If a change is mid-flight, the only edits permitted here are the minimal ones that restore a self-consistent, non-broken state, or a clean revert of it; make no new feature progress either way. The aim is solid footing to assess from, not a frozen half-edit. ## 2. Name the drift State plainly, in one or two sentences, the specific unverified assumption(s) the recent …

How to install
mdr add adamlinscott/claude-skills/reground@sha256:5f0a8e72ed5ecfcaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.623fe4a, 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.
