Use when implementing a multi-file change, building a feature from a breakdown, or writing a large amount of code. Not for a single settled ticket: use work.
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.

# Incremental implementation
## Contract
| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Implementing any multi-file change, building a new feature from a breakdown, refactoring, or when about to write more than a small amount of code at once. |
| Authority | Reversible local: writes only named local artifacts; rollback is version control (revert of each slice commit). No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Sequence of tested, committed slices, possibly behind feature flags. |
| Done | Each slice was individually tested and committed, the full suite passes, the build is clean, and the feature works end-to-end without uncommitted changes. |
## Inputs
- Plan or breakdown (required): ordered list of atomic changes that together deliver the feature or refactor. Each item must name the files it touches and the observable behavior it adds or changes.
- Existing test suite (required): the project's current test runner and passing baseline.
- Feature flag mechanism (optional): if the project uses feature flags, the flag name and gating surface for the new behavior.
## Procedure
…
The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.2014e73, 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.
