ds-skeptic SKILL.md skillA

ds-skeptic from space-dinosaurs/dinostack is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/ds-skeptic@git:20261010.f80b103

Pins git:20261010.f80b103 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Orchestrate adversarial review for `$ARGUMENTS`. The main agent drives the loop: spawn Worker, spawn Skeptic, route findings, repeat until sign-off.

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

# /ds-skeptic - The Skeptic Protocol Invocation

> Run the Activation preflight from `METHODOLOGY.md` before proceeding. If inactive, no-op and exit.

Orchestrate adversarial review for `$ARGUMENTS`. The main agent drives the loop: spawn Worker, spawn Skeptic, route findings, repeat until sign-off.

## Your job (main agent)

Tell the user: "Running Skeptic Protocol for: $ARGUMENTS. I'll report back when sign-off is achieved."

You drive the loop. Do not implement the task yourself.

---

## Step 1 - Spawn the Worker

Spawn a **background general-purpose subagent via the `Agent` tool** with this prompt (fill in bracketed sections):

---
You are a Worker agent. Implement the task fully and return your complete output. The main agent will arrange Skeptic review.

**Task:** $ARGUMENTS

**Context (REQUIRED - do not leave blank):** [Paste the relevant AGENTS.md sections, specs, schema, or file paths the Worker needs. Include the project AGENTS.md at minimum.]

**Session context:** [Paste the content of `<cwd>/.agentic/context.md`]

The adversarial brief below will be used by the Skeptic reviewing your output. Write your implementation knowing you will be evaluated against it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/ds-skeptic@sha256:a1d6793441177d75

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.f80b103, 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.
