Use when implementing against an agreed plan or spec.
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
# Implementation notes No amount of planning removes every unknown; some only appear once the code is open. When the territory disagrees with the plan, don't stop and don't silently improvise — take the conservative option, write it down, and keep going. The notes file is how the next attempt learns from this one. ## Steps 1. At the start of the build, create `implementation-notes.md` with three headings: **Deviations**, **Discovered edge cases**, **Questions for review**. 2. Whenever reality forces a choice the plan didn't cover: - pick the conservative option (the one that's easiest to reverse), - log it under Deviations: what the plan said, what was done instead, why, and what it would take to revisit, - continue working. Do not block on the user for reversible decisions. 3. Log edge cases as they're found, even ones handled cleanly — they are exactly the unknowns the next plan should account for. 4. Anything irreversible or scope-changing goes under Questions for review AND stops the work at a safe checkpoint. Deviating conservatively is fine; deviating expensively needs a human. …

How to install
mdr add jpeetz/agent-skills/implementation-notes@sha256:55e9fb9455b5aa02The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
