Rule 22 — change decision framework. Apply BEFORE every Edit/Write: emit a [Rule 22] block (Low Impact or High Impact 7-step) ABOVE the tool call in the same turn, then run scripts/aria/record-edit-intent.sh to log intent. Verify scope AFTER each edit.

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.

# Change Decision Framework

A process discipline system for Cursor that enforces structured decision-making before code changes and scope verification after. Implemented via hooks in `.cursor/hooks.json`.

---

## Why This Exists

When making code changes, it's easy to skip directly to execution without evaluating alternatives, or to exceed the scope of the intended change during implementation. Common failure modes:

- Rewriting an entire component when only a modifier was needed
- Modifying a base class definition when the solution was adding a new class alongside it
- Touching files or code outside the scope of the decision
- Not considering that there are multiple valid approaches before committing to one

This framework prevents those failures by requiring structured thinking before every edit and scope verification after.

---

## The Framework (7 Steps)

Every change — code, architecture, configuration, documentation — follows this sequence. Don't skip steps.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mikeprasad/aria-knowledge/plugin-cursor-template/.cursor/rules/aria-rule-22.mdc@sha256:1ca0adb9ac6b3b86

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.b9280bf, 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.
