Applies the Elon Musk Algorithm to coding, product, SaaS, design, and current issues. Use when the user invokes /elon or requests Elon Musk-style first-principles analysis.
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
# Elon Musk Algorithm When the user invokes this skill, follow these steps: 1. Create the "elon musk algo" for the coding, product, SaaS, design, or current issue. 2. Apply the Elon Musk Algorithm.
Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add illyism/dev-skills/elon@sha256:24b3c1017c9ca49eThe 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.
