Sanity-check a suspiciously low or zero call-graph result from dekko (get_callers, get_callees, find_usages, impacted_tests, unused) before concluding "no callers" or "dead code," or a heritage/throws-provenance result (query supertypes, query subtypes, query throws) that labels something (external) when you expect it to be in-repo. Trigger whenever such a result looks surprising given the symbol's apparent importance, before deleting/renaming a symbol based on a zero-caller result, when the…

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

# Verifying a low-confidence dekko answer

dekko's call-graph resolution usually fails as a **confident wrong
answer**, not a visible error, and "0 callers" is easy to over-trust.
This skill catches that before it deletes live code or hides a real
impact. It covers resolved relationships (callers, callees, usages,
impacted tests, `unused`, heritage, throws), not `outline`,
`query_symbol` or `search_code`, which only describe what exists.

## How to check

Run `dekko sanity` (the `/sanity` command). It compares dekko's answer
with one targeted grep sweep, buckets the results into matches /
dekko-only / grep-only, and names a likely cause for every grep-only
miss:

```
dekko sanity <symbol>              # a get_callers result
dekko sanity <name> --usages       # a find_usages result
dekko sanity --unused <symbol>     # a `dekko unused` "dead" verdict
```

One run is enough. Don't read whole files or rebuild the call graph by
hand; that defeats the point of dekko.

## When to double-check

Spot-check, don't re-verify everything, when any of these apply:

- **Dynamic dispatch or an unusual qualified call.** Trait/interface

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aahlijia/dekko/dekko-verify@sha256:92af1f01a245ddcb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.43ccaf3, 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.
