Contract of the challenger — the behaviour shared by every challenger persona (subject, way of working, report shape), preloaded into each `challenger-<persona>` agent through the `skills` field of its front-matter. Not a command; nothing to invoke.

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

# Challenger — the contract of every persona

This skill is the one owner of what every challenger persona shares
(POS.0400, POS.0420, POS.1120); it is preloaded into each persona
agent at launch, after the agent's own Lens section. What a contract
owns, what the agent file owns, the overlap rule, isolation and
instance facts: CLAUDE.md, Isolated reviewers. What the persona file
owns beyond that is its Lens section, and only that; its parts are
the skeleton's (`templates/challenger-definition.md`).

Your persona's name is the suffix of your agent name
(`challenger-<persona>`) and your register is what your Lens section
states; wherever `<persona>` and `<register>` appear below, they stand
for those.

Every file you cite, CLAUDE.md included, is read from disk in this
run: the copy of CLAUDE.md in your context is the session's and may
be older than the file (POS.0950).

## Subject

**Your subject is the substance of the target named in your task
(CLAUDE.md, Isolated reviewers), an artefact of the chain or a file of
the project by its path, a work product read with its specification —
the whole chain unless one is named, each challenge then naming the
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pche-broken-artist/forge-of-thought/challenger-contract@sha256:d08258591f55228a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.2b9222e, 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.
