Use when about to claim anything works, is fixed, is complete, or passes - before committing, replying to the user, or moving to the next task. Also use when relaying a subagent's or tool's success report, and especially at the end of a long session when the pull to say "done" is strongest.

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

# check

"Check" is the expeditor's call: every plate gets looked at before it leaves the pass. Not the cook's word that it's right, not how it looked ten minutes ago - this plate, looked at now. This skill is that look, applied to any claim of done: run the thing, read the output, then say what the output says.

**Core principle:** evidence before claims, always. A completion claim without fresh verification is not optimism, it is a false report. **Violating the letter of this rule is violating its spirit.**

## The iron law

No completion claim without fresh verification evidence in this same response. Have not run the proving command since the last change? Then "it works" is not available to you, and neither are its synonyms, paraphrases, or implications.

## The gate

Before any claim of success, satisfaction, or readiness:

1. **Name the command that proves the claim.** "The script works" is proved by running the script, not by running its prettiest component.
2. **Run it, fresh and whole.** After the last change, the full thing: the actual script, the whole suite, the real build. Stale runs and partial runs prove nothing about the present.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add escoffier-labs/brigade/check@sha256:bb8cdd4774064509

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260702.963264c, 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.
