Plans a task or feature - loads context, optionally clarifies requirements, spawns Plan agent, persists plan to the project-scoped .groundwork-plans/.
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
# Task Planning Skill Plans a task or feature by loading context, optionally clarifying requirements, spawning a Plan agent, and persisting the validated plan to the project-scoped `.groundwork-plans/` directory. ## Explicit Project Input If arguments include `--project <name>`, resolve that project directly from the repository's `.groundwork.yml` for this invocation. Treat it as authoritative; do not depend on or change persisted project selection. In runner mode, `GROUNDWORK_PROJECT` and `GROUNDWORK_PROJECT_ROOT` provide the same invocation-local selection. ## Runner Mode If session context contains `GROUNDWORK_RUNNER_MODE=true`: - Skip the model recommendation pre-flight. - Treat `GROUNDWORK_BATCH_MODE=true` as authoritative: do not call `AskUserQuestion`. - When information or a decision is missing, return `RESULT: FAILURE` instead of asking. - Do not modify `.gitignore`; the runner keeps `.groundwork-plans/` out of Git state. - Keep the existing terminal `RESULT: PLANNED` contract unchanged. ## Token Discipline This skill orchestrates planning workflows. Every turn re-reads the full context window, so unnecessary turns are expensive. …

How to install
mdr add etr/groundwork/plan-task@sha256:16aa0e0170b6720dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.f731445, 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.
