Shipyard's navigator — chart a foggy effort (destination unclear, questions not yet stateable) into a map of decision tickets on the repo's issue tracker, then work the frontier one ticket per session until the way is clear, and hand the collapsed decisions to /launch as a mission brief. Wayfinding, not building: it produces decisions, never deliverables.

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

# Ask Navigator

Ask-navigator is the shipyard's **navigator**: it takes an effort wrapped in fog — the way from here to the destination isn't visible yet — and charts it as a **map of decision tickets** on the repo's issue tracker, then works the frontier one ticket per session until the route is clear. It produces **decisions, never deliverables**: when the way is clear it hands off, it doesn't build. Delivery belongs to `/oh-my-claudecode:launch`.

**The role contract.** The captain (the human) signs the destination (W1) and the chart (W2); the navigator drafts everything else and **never answers a question that belongs to the captain** — a grilling session in which the agent answers its own questions has broken the role, not just the process. Facts are the navigator's job; decisions are the captain's.

**Fog test.** An effort has fog when either answer is no:

1. **Q1** — Can the destination be stated in one sentence: the spec, decision, or change this effort is finding its way to?
2. **Q2** — Can the first three decisions be stated precisely right now, even though none of them can be answered yet?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add naimkatiman/continuous-improvement/ask-navigator@sha256:d534aef9d4baf7ba

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.bface5c, 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.
