Use when exploring a feature idea before committing, or revisiting a parked one. Triggers — "/engineer.discuss", "/engineer.discuss <slug>", "I have an idea about", "should we build", "let's think about".
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
# discuss
The upstream funnel of DAE — a divergent brainstorm (forked from `superpowers:brainstorming`) that ends in one of three outcomes: **drop**, **park**, or **promote**. Most ideas die here; some park as `features/NNN-slug/` with `status: parked`; survivors promote to `status: ready`.
## When to use
- **Fresh** — `/engineer.discuss`, no argument. New exploration.
- **Continue** — `/engineer.discuss <slug>`. Resume a parked feature.
**Not for:** feature-work prep on an already-Ready feature (`prime-context`), or editing a committed feature (`feature-edit`).
## Workflow
1. **Resolve + load** — resolve the methodology root + manifest via `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/dae_resolve.py` (see `references/resolving.md`). Load `CHARTER.md` and the last ~20 lines of `.engineer/discussions.log`. With a slug arg: also load that feature's `feature.md` + prior `handoffs/*-discuss.md`; reject if its status is `ready`/`in-progress` (→ `feature-edit`) or `done`.

How to install
mdr add swingerman/engineer/discuss@sha256:705dd1a227931f6aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.ccea2d9, 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.
