discuss skillA
discuss is agent-read markdown (skill) from swingerman/engineer: 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"..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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@git:20260922.ccea2d9mdr add swingerman/engineer/discuss@sha256:705dd1a227931f6aPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
