Ran a real create->corrupt->repair cycle: `par2j64.exe` (as literally documented) is 'command not found' on Mac, but swapping in Homebrew's `par2` with the exact same flags the skill teaches (-r10, -r100, c/v/r) worked end-to-end, and the skill's own redundancy-tier and troubleshooting guidance correctly predicted and then fixed an under-redundancy repair failure I hit mid-test.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Multipar CLI does

A 900-line reference for MultiPar's par2j64.exe: creating PAR2 recovery files, verifying/repairing damaged archives, redundancy-percentage planning, and troubleshooting. Triggers on multipar/par2/parity-archive/data-recovery language. Windows-only binary by design; Mac/Linux users must substitute the par2cmdline 'par2' binary (same flag syntax, different binary name) themselves — not spelled out in the doc.
