Routes a change through the correct workflow when the change touches a generated artefact or a protected branch. Use before hand-editing a file that is produced by a generator (build outputs, schema dumps, taxonomies, doc portals, scorecards, lockfiles). Use before pushing directly to, force-pushing, or `reset --hard`ing a protected branch (the default branch, release branches, long-lived integration branches). Use when CI flags generated-artefact drift or a protected-branch operation. The…
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
# Artefact and Branch Discipline: Check ## Overview Two related disciplines protect a project's audit trail: generated artefacts are read-only (the generator is the canonical statement of how the artefact derives from the source), and protected branches are append-only (the branch is the canonical statement of what the project's history looks like). This skill runs the routing workflow from the canonical rule [`governance/artefact-and-branch-discipline.md`](../../governance/artefact-and-branch-discipline.md) so a change about to take the forbidden path (hand-edit the artefact; force-push past the check) is caught and redirected at the moment of decision. The rule is the source of truth for normative content (what counts as generated, what counts as protected, what the exception paths look like, framework alignment). This skill is the workflow wrapper: identify the trigger, classify the artefact or branch, route to the correct action. ## When to Use - Before opening an editor on a file at the top of which sits a "Do not hand-edit; regenerate via X" notice, or any file your project's `## Boundaries` section names as generated. …

How to install
mdr add jposluns/grc_library/artefact-discipline-check@sha256:514e71184045205aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.22a8e2c, 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.
