Independent re-derivation gate for proposed changes during autonomous execution. Evaluates a change (code diff, config edit, engine evolution, schema change) against the work's authority matrix and a 4-check protocol: invariant compliance, scope authorization, detection narrowness, and regression risk. Returns structured JSON with pass/fail per check, an overall verdict (APPROVE / REQUEST_CHANGES / REJECT), and blockers. Profile-driven thresholds (strict for unattended runs, lenient for desk…
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
# Critic Gate > **Calibration:** Tier 2 (Sonnet-graceful) — designed against Opus 5.5 + Sonnet 5.5 dual-primary. Runs on Haiku 5.5 at `high` effort with less depth on multi-dimensional analysis; fallback-graceful on Opus 5 / Sonnet 5; legacy-graceful on Sonnet 4.6. Start at the model's default effort (`medium` on Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 in Claude Code; `high` for Sonnet 5.5 on the Claude API) and re-run an effort sweep on your own evals rather than carrying a setting over. See repository README for model compatibility. Independent re-derivation of proposed changes during autonomous execution. Returns a structured verdict before any change lands. The load-bearing safety mechanism for autonomous engine evolution — without it, multi-cycle drift is guaranteed. …

How to install
mdr add drayline/rootnode-skills/critic-gate@sha256:1fd63d52ae666eeaThe line at the top of this page pins the label v6.0.0, 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.
