Finding validation before writing any report — 7-Question Gate (all 7 questions), 4 pre-submission gates, always-rejected list, conditionally valid with chain table, CVSS 3.1 quick reference, severity decision guide, report title formula, 60-second pre-submit checklist. Use BEFORE writing any report. One wrong answer = kill the finding and move on. Saves N/A ratio.
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
# TRIAGE & VALIDATION One wrong answer = STOP **this finding**. Kill **the finding**. Move on **to the next test class**. > **Scope of "STOP" in this skill:** This skill's gates kill INDIVIDUAL FINDINGS that fail validation. They do NOT authorize stopping the engagement. Killing a finding via the 7-Question Gate just means *that finding* doesn't get submitted — every other test class in the engagement is still pending. See `redteam-mindset` "DO NOT STOP primary directive" for the coverage-axis rule. > "N/A hurts your validity ratio. Informative is neutral. Only submit what passes all 7 questions." --- ## THE 7-QUESTION GATE Ask IN ORDER. One wrong answer = STOP immediately. --- ### Q1: Can an attacker use this RIGHT NOW, step by step? Complete this template: ``` 1. Setup: I need [own account / another user's ID / no account] 2. Request: [exact HTTP method, URL, headers, body — copy-paste ready] 3. Result: I can [read / modify / delete] [exact data shown in response] 4. Impact: The real-world consequence is [account takeover / PII read / money stolen] 5. Cost: Time: [X minutes], Capital: [$0 / $X subscription required] ``` …

How to install
mdr add novaestellar/novahaku/triage-validation@sha256:2f0cb6800e4272d3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.aef47d3, 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.
