This skill reviews research findings with user feedback, Codex, or self-review. You use it to check results or direct more investigation.

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

# Critique

You must read and apply the [language rules](../reaper/references/language.md) before you write any output.

## Usage

You invoke this skill by name with quoted feedback, `--codex`, or `--self`. Slash-command hosts use `/critique <args>`.

```
critique "dig deeper into the liveness proof gap under partial synchrony"
critique --codex
critique --self
```

## Inputs

You always read these sources:

- `reaper-workspace/notes/current-understanding.md`
- `reaper-workspace/notes/results.md`
- `reaper-workspace/notes/problem-statement.md`
- `reaper-workspace/notes/ideas.md`
- `reaper-workspace/feedbacks/`

You read these sources only when a specific question needs them:

- `reaper-workspace/notes/paper-summary.md`, if it exists.
- `reaper-workspace/notes/literature.md`
- `reaper-workspace/papers/`

## Human Feedback

Quoted feedback selects this mode.

### 1. Set the Round Number

You check `reaper-workspace/feedbacks/round-*.md`. N is one greater than the highest existing round, or 1 for the first round.

### 2. Classify and Save Feedback

You split mixed feedback into distinct requests. You assign one category to each request.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sebastianelvis/reaper/critique@sha256:5344bfcf5596f4fe

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.18b334b, 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.
