Trigger: RDD, receipt-driven development, review authority, receipt/lineage, correction/recovery, delivery gate/kill switch, bounded review defects. Guide work.

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

## Activation Contract

Load when the frontmatter trigger terms apply to a defect workflow.

This skill guides public collaboration. It does not grant issue approval, label, review, exception, or merge authority.

## Hard Rules

- Check the user-owned RDD kill switch first. When disabled, do not start receipt reviews or fabricate approval; follow ordinary policy and report `disabled/unmanaged`.
- Require an approved issue (`status:approved`) and clean current `main` reproduction before implementation. Audit existing PRs for supersession or conflict; stop or narrow stale claims.
- Group by causal authority invariant. Use one issue and one PR or explicit chain per independent invariant and rollback boundary. Split independent causes; never merge a superseded or conflicting authority line.
- Inventory every operator flow claimed by the issue or PR, including entry, mode, environment, expectation, and negative controls. Require one truthful black-box bench journey per CLI or lifecycle flow, or actual runtime E2E proof when the core bench cannot represent it. Synthetic proxy coverage never proves another runtime.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gentleman-programming/gentle-ai/rdd-defect-workflow@sha256:7dcabfdf0aee1ddc

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
