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.

How to install
mdr add gingg7260/affiliate-skills/competitor-spy@sha256:ac6b89233afbfaa6The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want.
