The small structural patterns that hold an enterprise application together — Gateway, Mapper, Layer Supertype, Separated Interface, Registry, Special Case, Plugin and Service Stub — with the judgement about when each earns its place and when it is indirection. Use when an external system's API is being called directly from business code, when the same null check appears in twenty callers, when a base class is accumulating unrelated protected helpers, when a Registry or a static holder is being…

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

# Enterprise Base Patterns

## Purpose

Name the small pieces that recur in every enterprise codebase, so they are chosen rather
than reinvented — and so the ones that are usually mistakes are recognised as such. Most of
these patterns are one class each. Their value is not complexity; it is that each one has a
known cost and a known failure mode.

## The patterns, in one line each

```text
Gateway              an object that encapsulates access to an external
                     system or resource, presenting it in your terms.

Mapper               an object that moves data between two subsystems
                     while keeping them ignorant of each other.

Layer Supertype      a common superclass for all types in a layer,
                     holding what genuinely all of them need.

Separated Interface  the interface is separate from its implementation,
                     owned by callers or an independent contract module.

Registry             a well-known object other objects use to find
                     common services; its access and lifetime need a scope.

Special Case         a type providing behaviour for a special case

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/enterprise-base-patterns@sha256:8ac31d526c5dc29c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.9ecadfd, 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.
