validate-knowledge skillA
validate-knowledge is agent-read markdown (skill) from llopresto87/cypress: Prove that a knowledge base actually works before trusting it — after building or adopting docs, a knowledge graph, or a wiki, verify it can orient a fresh agent and resist false premises. Use at the end of an adoption, after a large docs change, or before relying on the graph to route work. Two methods: clean-context test agents answering known-answer and adversarial questions, and enforcement tests that plant a violation and confirm the linter catches it. A smoke test proves code runs; this pr.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# validate-knowledge Documentation you wrote is documentation you already believe. That is exactly why you cannot validate it yourself: you fill every gap from memory the reader won't have. A knowledge base is only proven when a context that does *not* share your memory can use it to reach correct answers — and when its own guard rails demonstrably catch violations. This complements the code smoke test. A smoke test proves a snippet runs; this proves the surrounding knowledge is correct, navigable, and honest. For version drift specifically — whether the library wiki's pins still match the resolved dependencies — the complementary check is the lightweight source-reconciliation pass in `research-and-ingest`; this skill tests prose, not pin freshness. ## Method 1 — clean-context test agents Spawn agents with **no prior context** on the project and have them answer questions using only the knowledge base. Grade the answers against ground truth you already know. 1. **Give them the entry point, not the answers.** Tell them to read the kernel and follow it — the same cold start a real session has. Do not paste the facts you're testing for. …

How to install
mdr add llopresto87/cypress/validate-knowledge@git:20260915.df30567mdr add llopresto87/cypress/validate-knowledge@sha256:39adeb85ef5fbe86Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
