estimation SKILL.md skillA
estimation from cdeust/zetetic-team-subagents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add cdeust/zetetic-team-subagents/estimation@git:20261021.4372ea9Pins git:20261021.4372ea9 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Bound it before you build it. Use when a decision is blocked by "we don't have data", an estimate looks suspiciously precise, someone asks "is this even feasible?", "how much capacity do we need?", "will this scale?", or a claimed number has never been cross-checked by a second method.
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
# Estimation **Problem shape:** a quantity is needed for a decision, but there is no measurement — or there is a single number with false precision and no bracket. The move is order-of-magnitude decomposition, two-sided bounds, and limits derived before methods are chosen. ## Relevant geniuses | Agent | Use when | |---|---| | [fermi](../../agents/genius/fermi.md) | decision blocked by missing data; single number with no bracket; feasibility check before committing resources; sanity-check a claimed figure | | [erlang](../../agents/genius/erlang.md) | capacity planning, queue sizing, arrival-vs-service balance, latency exploding near saturation (Little's law audits) | | [thompson](../../agents/genius/thompson.md) | "will this design survive 10x scale?" — surface-to-volume and allometric scale-break analysis | | [laplace](../../agents/genius/laplace.md) | priors need eliciting; estimates need updating as evidence arrives; forecaster calibration is unknown | | [carnot](../../agents/genius/carnot.md) | efficiency claims with no derived theoretical limit; "where is the irreversible loss?" | …

How to install
mdr add cdeust/zetetic-team-subagents/estimation@sha256:96af215bba962a93The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.4372ea9, 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.
