A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design.
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
Load and follow the `grilling` skill through the host's skill mechanism.
The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.6e83db0, 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.
The registry has recorded 3 versions of this file, between Sep 23, 2026 and Oct 17, 2026, about one every 12 days. Its first recorded version is graded B and its latest A.
A 17 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
