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

# Open Stanley — Design

*An open "head of content" for Claude (and any agent that reads SKILL.md). Companion to RESEARCH.md.*

---

## 0. What we are building, in one sentence

A plugin that turns the agent the user already pays for (Claude Cowork / Claude Code, or Codex / OpenClaw via the skills standard) into a proactive head of content that (1) mines the user's own material through whatever MCPs they have connected, (2) drafts in the user's voice by editing that material rather than generating from a topic, (3) audits every draft against the 2026 AI-slop and platform rules, (4) publishes and comments through the user's own browser and accounts, (5) runs the daily/weekly rituals as scheduled tasks with a run log, and (6) learns from every edit the user makes, locally first, and optionally contributes anonymized rule improvements back to a reviewed shared skill.

Stanley's job description, minus the black box, minus the $149.

---

## 1. Form factor: plugin with portable skills

**Decision: ship as a Claude plugin (`open-stanley`) whose `skills/` folder is also a standalone, standard-conformant skills pack.**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add harmix/open-stanley/open-stanley/docs/DESIGN.md@sha256:c228f58f778cc255

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.ec207d5, 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.
