Initialize a project through deep questioning - PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, a phased ROADMAP.md and .planning/ state.
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
<objective>
Start a project properly: question deeply until the idea is concrete, then
write PROJECT.md and REQUIREMENTS.md, derive a phased ROADMAP.md with
falsifiable per-phase success criteria, and initialize .planning/ (config
copied from the engine template, STATE.md cursor). Research is off by
default; `--research` or config `workflow.research` enables a single
research pass. `--brief <file>` reads a design brief an earlier conversation
produced and questions only what it leaves open.
</objective>
<execution_context>
@${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/cadence-core/workflows/new-project.md
</execution_context>
<process>
Execute end-to-end.
</process>Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add crenshawdev/cadence/cad-new-project@sha256:9583f19cb1ed2dd0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.0ae5ff0, 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.
