The front door to the product-engineering kit. Use when the user says "product engineering" followed by any product, design, UI, review, or asset request; when they ask which pe-* skill fits a task; or when a product task doesn't clearly match one skill. Routes to pe-design, pe-build, pe-review, pe-verify, pe-product-description, or pe-brand-assets and then follows that skill. If a request already names or clearly matches a specific pe-* skill, that skill takes it directly — this router yields.

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

# Product Engineering

Route, then defer. Decide which skill owns the request, read that skill's SKILL.md,
and follow it completely. Never do the work from this file's summaries.

## Route by the deliverable

Ask what should exist when the work is done:

| The user wants | Route to |
| --- | --- |
| A document or design artifact — context docs, a design brief for one feature, a direction, wireframes, mockups, prototypes, variants, an onboarding flow | `pe-design` |
| Working production code — a component built, polished, animated, made accessible, or hardened; a UI bug fixed | `pe-build` |
| A judgment on what exists — a review, critique, audit, or stress test of a screen, diff, or PR; fidelity to an approved design | `pe-review` |
| Proof that something works — a verification run with recordings and screenshots, or the project's QA list re-checked before a release | `pe-verify` |
| A behavior spec — documentation of what users see and do, verified against the product | `pe-product-description` |
| A standalone asset — an illustration, social/OG image, or logo in the project's brand | `pe-brand-assets` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add backnotprop/product-engineering/product-engineering@sha256:36fbd1eb1f0f2ec5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.30b96c6, 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.
