plan-mode from codealive-ai/ai-driven-development is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use this skill when the user asks to plan, design, scope, estimate, or implement a feature, bug fix, refactor, migration, integration, API change, UI change, or other project modification. Enforces a planning gate before editing code — investigate project context, analyze the task, surface ambiguities, contradictions, risks, dependencies, and blockers, ask focused questions, produce an evidence-based step-by-step plan, and implement only after explicit user approval. Not for trivial one-line…
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
# Plan Mode Prevent premature implementation. **Understand → plan → get approval → implement → validate.** Do not skip the gate just because a change looks small. The full protocol — investigation steps, issue classification, the question and plan templates, validation, and special cases — lives in [`PROTOCOL.md`](PROTOCOL.md). **Read it before planning or implementing.** ## Default behavior 1. Investigate project context (read-only). 2. Analyze the task: goal, current vs desired behavior, acceptance criteria, scope, edge cases. 3. Classify open issues as **ambiguity / contradiction / blocker / risk / assumption**. 4. Ask the smallest set of focused questions that unblocks planning. 5. Produce a consistent, evidence-based, step-by-step plan. 6. Wait for explicit approval. 7. Implement only the approved plan. 8. Validate, then report what was and was not checked. ## The gate (core rule) During Plan Mode, **do not mutate the project**: no editing files, scaffolding, patches, package installs, lockfile updates, migrations, deploys, destructive scripts, or "trying an implementation" to learn the code. …

How to install
mdr add codealive-ai/ai-driven-development/plan-mode@sha256:d0f1802462c744dbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260602.7fd4882, 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.
