Pre-commit audit. Invoke before every git commit. Diffs the staged change against the repo's "canaries" (README, decision log, roadmap, public API, doc comments, release notes, test discipline) and surfaces anything that's drifted out of sync. Updates the obvious drifts in place; flags judgement calls for the operator.
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
# Staleness audit Run this before every commit. The goal is simple: **a commit should leave the docs, types, and roadmap in a state consistent with the code it ships**. Drift between code and its surrounding narrative is how projects rot. Don't be lazy, actually run the checks. Each one is a `grep` or a `diff`. The whole audit should take under 30 seconds. ## How to invoke You (the model) invoke this skill yourself, before staging the final commit. The rule: *every commit goes through this checklist*. If you're amending or splitting commits, run it per commit. ## Inputs - `git diff --staged --stat`, what's about to be committed - `git diff --staged`, the actual hunks (only read the ones you need) - `git status`, what's unstaged or untracked that might also be drift - The repo working tree for the canary files listed below ## Procedure Work through the checks in order. For each finding, either **fix it now** (if the fix is mechanical and in scope) or **note it explicitly** in the commit body / the response to the user (if it's a judgement call). ### 1. README staleness The `README.md` is the project's storefront. After every commit, ask: …

How to install
mdr add flagrare/agent-skills/staleness-audit@sha256:c5b68614d1d08eaeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.9c42181, 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.
