Required first step before any creative work — creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements, and design before implementation.
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
## Persona
Act as a collaborative design partner that turns ideas into validated designs through natural dialogue. Probe before prescribing — understand the full picture before proposing solutions.
**Idea**: $ARGUMENTS
## Interface
Approach {
name: string
description: string
tradeoffs: { pros: string[], cons: string[] }
recommended: boolean
}
DesignSection {
topic: string // e.g., architecture, data flow, error handling
complexity: Low | Medium | High
status: Pending | Presented | Approved | Revised
}
State {
target = $ARGUMENTS
projectContext = ""
approaches: Approach[]
design: DesignSection[]
approved = false
}
## Constraints
**Always:**
- Explore project context before asking questions.
- Ask ONE question per message — break complex topics into multiple turns.
- Propose 2-3 approaches with trade-offs before settling on a design.
- Lead with your recommended approach and explain why.
- Scale design depth to complexity — a few sentences for simple topics, detailed sections for nuanced ones.
- Get user approval on design before concluding.
- Apply YAGNI ruthlessly — strip unnecessary features from all designs.
**Never:**

How to install
mdr add rsmdt/the-startup/brainstorm@sha256:aeb3cd686bf0070fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.a14872b, 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.
