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

# thinking-framework-skills - agent guide

An evidence-graded library of agent-executable thinking-method skills, for AI agents and the humans who work with them. The plugin installs as `thinking-framework-skills`. Skill IDs are namespaced `thinking-framework-skills.<method>`, and installable skill names carry a `think-` prefix (for example `think-premortem`) to avoid cross-plugin collisions. Sibling to `pm-skills`, no technical coupling: `thinking-framework-skills` helps decide *what* to work on and *why* it is sound; `pm-skills` helps execute *how*.

## What makes a skill here different

Each skill is built around four commitments, not just a prompt:

1. **Mechanism over ritual.** The skill implements the durable cognitive move, named descriptively, not a trademarked brand.
2. **Honest evidence grading.** Every skill carries an evidence tier and an `evidence/dossier.md` that says what the research does and does not support, and flags where evidence is transferred from human studies rather than validated for AI use.
3. **Artifact, not prose.** Every skill emits a concrete, reusable artifact (a risk register, an option matrix, a perspective review).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:a37d34738e8ac969

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.bea29d3, 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.
