Advisor-checked decision gates. Freezes a drafted option set, has an independent external advisor rule it genuine / collapsed / malformed, then verifies the cited grounds before it reaches the user.
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
# Gate Check
An option set is normally judged by whoever drafted it. That is the one judgment the drafter cannot make well: the options inherit the frame they were drafted from, so an option set standing on the wrong axis looks complete from inside. This skill puts an independent adjudicator on the option set itself — not on the work the gate is about — and then checks the adjudicator's reasoning against the substrate before either reaches you.
The check separates two things that usually collapse into one: **who wrote the options** and **who says they are worth asking**. Everything below exists to keep those apart, including from itself.

How to install
mdr add jongwony/epistemic-protocols/gate-check@sha256:107c1781ee660cb4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.fc8afc1, 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.
