Run a local-only, read-only advisory audit of publishable working-tree files and unpublished branch history with redaction-safe findings.

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

# Artifact Hygiene

Run the local-only proof of concept that checks whether repository content is safe to publish. The
helper is the only component allowed to read candidate content. The active model receives normalized,
redacted findings and coverage—not raw candidate content. Claude Code uses the Sonnet alias for this
bounded interpretation; Pi continues to route by `model-tier`.

This skill is advisory and read-only. It never fetches, follows links, calls remote services, validates
credentials, installs hooks, blocks CI, edits files, changes Git state, rewrites history, or creates
tracker or remote state.

## Placement and enforcement

The helper and skill remain together under `~/.agents/skills/` as the portable, client-neutral audit
discovered by Pi, Claude Code, and Codex. The model can render its redacted advisory report; a hook
cannot. Enforcement therefore stays in thin client-specific hooks that call the helper and map its
result to allow or deny, such as the
[Claude Code push gate in ai-tools](https://github.com/flurdy/ai-tools/tree/main/claude/artifact-hygiene-gate),
without copying detectors or report logic.

## Scope

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/artifact-hygiene@sha256:1b6f21307158fbf5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.7.0, 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.
