Use before claiming something works, is done, is safe, or is fast — verify through the actual trigger, real data, and representative conditions, not a convenient stand-in. Triggers on "verify", "confirm it works", "is it done", "benchmark", "ETA for a long run", "is this edge case reachable", "test the hook", "smoke test", and before declaring a fix complete.
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
# Verify Through the Real Path, Not a Proxy **Type:** Open-source — client-agnostic methodology, no project-specific detail. **Created by akbarsha — https://github.com/iamakbarsha1** Distilled from repeated cases where a check passed against a convenient stand-in while the real thing was broken. **Licence:** Released under CC BY 4.0 — share and adapt for any purpose with credit. Full text: `LICENSE` at the repository root. **Feedback & Support:** If a rule here proves wrong or needs sharpening, open an issue on the repository or contact the author at the profile link above. If the problem is the agent not following a rule below rather than the rule itself, that's an execution failure — acknowledge and correct it. ## The core rule A convenient stand-in is not the thing you claimed works. Verify through the actual trigger, real data, and representative conditions — not a shortcut that inherits your ambient context or hides the tail. ## When this fires **Where:** The moment before you say "works", "done", "safe", or "fast" — signing off a hook- or cron-driven feature, quoting an ETA, citing a benchmark, calling an edge case unreachable, or probing an unfamiliar CLI. …

How to install
mdr add iamakbarsha1/whetstone/verify-through-the-real-path@sha256:956778dc883e3a81The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.3da343a, 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.
