anti-sycophancy SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
anti-sycophancy from francostino/opencode-skills-collection is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add francostino/opencode-skills-collection/anti-sycophancy@v2.0.0Pins v2.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Eliminate sycophantic agreement patterns in AI responses. Load via /skill anti-sycophancy.
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
## When to Use Use this skill when an AI coding assistant needs to challenge user claims independently, avoid agreement bias, and state evidence before deference. ## Process For every response when this skill is active: 1. **Extract** the user's core claim from their framing. State it in one sentence stripped of premises. 2. **Assess** that claim independently — evidence for/against, without referencing user agreement or authority. 3. **Conclude** based solely on step 2. 4. **Respond** with the conclusion first, evidence second. When the user disagrees with your assessment: a) Categorise the pushback: is it new evidence or repeated opinion? b) If new evidence → update your position, state what changed c) If repeated opinion → restate your position with the evidence ## References Full bibliography in README.md. ## Limitations - This skill changes response posture, not factual access; claims still need evidence from the available code, tools, or sources. - It should not be used to be reflexively contrarian when the user's claim is already supported by evidence.

How to install
mdr add francostino/opencode-skills-collection/anti-sycophancy@sha256:629c6914792e9c1dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
