Plan, rehearse, or execute a persistent system change with verified rollback and postconditions for an install, upgrade, deployment, migration, destructive retention action, version promotion, or credential lifecycle step with rollback, data, service, or activation risk. Plans and rehearsals stay read-only; recovery preparation needs bounded write authority. Not for ordinary edits, Git, or status queries.

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

# Reversible System Change

Make one authorized persistent change without losing the ability to identify, restore, and verify the prior state.

## Invariants

These invariants bind in every phase, including the references that phase loads. Everything else in this skill is a default you may adapt, saying so when you depart.

1. **Separate authority per action.** Recovery-material preparation, isolated restore rehearsal, candidate preparation, active promotion, service restart or reload, data migration, destructive retention, sensitive asset access, rollback, and cleanup are separate actions. Permission for one never implies another, and a newly discovered target, dependency, service, data store, endpoint, or destructive effect requires renewed authority.
2. **Verified rollback before mutation.** Before candidate or active-state mutation, require a rollback point that represents the observed prior state and covers every non-forward-compatible effect. It must be readable by the restore principal with its prerequisites present and must have passed a target-native restore validation or an authorized isolated rehearsal, rechecked immediately before mutation.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wheakerd/axiom/reversible-system-change@sha256:0b4b921d0b532d32

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.2219401, 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.
