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.

# Grilling

Decide everything that can be decided, then show where you might be wrong.

**This is not an interview.** The output is a short list of assumptions the user corrects in one pass.
A question is what happens *after* a correction leaves a fork you genuinely cannot settle.

## Triage — three buckets, and only one of them is a question

| Bucket | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| **A fact** | Look it up — the repo, the history, the tools. Never ask what the environment can answer. The clone is compared with its remote first (`git fetch`, then `git status -sb`); a clone behind it answers with stale facts. |
| **A routine call** | Decide it, list it as an assumption, move on. Reversible, cheap, or with an obvious default. |
| **Changes the shape of the work** | This, and only this, goes on the list. |

## What earns a place on the list

One test: **would a different answer change what gets built** — the work itself, its size, or its

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add atnexuslab/tightship/grilling@sha256:e01e567f45997e87

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.bf2e316, 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.
