Use AFTER a delegate (local model, cloud subagent, or external tool) returns output that modifies state, generates code, or asserts facts. Triggered by the need to validate correctness before trusting the result. Do NOT use for planning, briefing, or runtime checks. Covers ground-truth comparison, mutation testing of generated tests, and the retry ceiling.
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
# verify-delegated-work — trust nothing, verify everything A smaller model or automated agent’s default failure mode is **plausible-but-wrong**. It will return a clean diff, a passing test suite, or a confident summary that is subtly incorrect. Verification is not optional; it is the cost of offloading. ## Capture ground truth BEFORE delegating You cannot verify what you do not know. Before dispatching work that touches files or asserts facts, capture the baseline: - **File state:** `git diff` for tracked files, otherwise a content hash — use `shasum -a 256`, which is present on both macOS and Linux (`md5sum` is GNU coreutils and is missing from most macOS installs). - **Fact state:** The actual list of files, the current value of a variable, or the output of a diagnostic command. - **Test state:** The current pass/fail status of the test suite. Store this baseline in a temporary variable or file. When the delegate returns, compare its output against this baseline, not against your memory of it. ## Judge by observable outcome change Do not accept "it replied" or "no error" as success. Verify by **observable change**: …

How to install
mdr add haiggoh/free-agents/verify-delegated-work@sha256:bca40230e044016aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.530a28e, 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.
