Manifest builder. Turns shared understanding into a verifiable Manifest with Deliverables, Acceptance Criteria, Global Invariants, and an Initial Approach. Use when planning features, scoping refactors, debugging complex issues, or when the user asks to define, scope, plan, spec out, make a manifest, or break down a task.
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
Read `../ticket-up/references/AUTHORITY.md` before acting. Keep this assignment, its applicable authority and retained decisions in every skill handoff; an isolated caller must receive them explicitly, with the useful intent and evidence. Encode the conversation's shared understanding as a Manifest at `~/.manifest-dev/manifests/manifest-<ts>.md` (create the dir; fall back to a writable temp path only if home is not writable); how you interview is yours. No shared understanding in the transcript → invoke `figure-out` first, propagating `--autonomous` when the caller is unattended. A manifest path in the arguments means amend, as *Amendment* below describes. Project surfaces — setup and its update, the verification harness and its recipes, decision records, the glossary, the North Star — belong to a project: a repository or working folder holding, or about to hold, work later sessions will change — a new one the user is starting counts — which this work concerns. A chat with no workspace, a home or scratch folder, a folder holding one finished artifact, or a question that does not concern the folder the session runs in …

How to install
mdr add doodledood/manifest-dev/define@sha256:a4c2f39b08d2c8f2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.82f9a81, 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.
