Use when asked to set up, install, or refine an agent quality framework in a repository (rules with gates, architecture contracts, proven-red tests, ratchets, playbooks), or when the user says "gap-trap", "gap-trap setup", "gap-trap refine", "gate the rules", or "make the agents' code match the rules".
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
# gap-trap Sets up a quality framework for repositories where agents write most of the code. Every rule the agents follow has a gate that fails a commit, a push, or a CI run when the rule breaks. A rule a script could check but that names no gate is a defect. The framework is the one described in `reference/framework.md`; read it before either mode. Two modes: `setup` builds the framework in a repo that has none. `refine` audits a repo that has it and proposes the next rules and gates from what broke. Bare `gap-trap` with no keyword means `setup` when the repo has no `AGENTS.project.md`, otherwise `refine`. A hand-written `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` on its own is input to setup, not a sign the framework exists. ## Model gate This skill runs on the top coding model of your harness: in Claude Code, Opus or a more capable model (Opus 4.8 or newer, Opus 5, Fable, Mythos); in Codex, the frontier coding model at high or xhigh reasoning effort. Discovery decides which parts of a codebase get a contract, and a wrong contract costs every later session. Your system prompt names your model. If it is a cheaper or faster tier (Sonnet, Haiku, a mini model, or low …

How to install
mdr add pliablepixels/gap-trap/gap-trap@sha256:d0b5f8cedca7b9afThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.04b139f, 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.
