Co-authoring Product Features and Tech Features through focused question-and-revision rounds. For a Product Feature, separates the business definition from an optional engineering analysis owned by an architect or senior engineer, including PoCs, ADRs, contracts, and engineering premises. Use when an idea needs an agreed feature brief or an evidenced decision not to proceed, not implementation. Accepted features go to feature-engineering for validation and execution planning.

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

# Collaborative Feature Definition

## Purpose

Turn an initial idea into an agreed, buildable Feature or Tech Feature without inventing missing
intent or turning discovery into a one-shot questionnaire. The artefact is a living draft: each
conversation round resolves the highest-impact gaps, updates the draft, and exposes what remains
unknown.

This skill stops at an accepted definition and, when required, its engineering-analysis companion,
or an evidenced decision not to pursue the proposal. Discovery need not produce delivery work.
`feature-engineering` owns the subsequent independent readiness validation, planning,
implementation, progress, and completion review.

## Classify the artefact

- **Product Feature** — changes an outcome or behavior for a customer, user, operator, partner, or
  business process. Its value must be stated in those terms. Its definition is product-owned;
  engineering decisions are a separate, conditional stage.
- **Tech Feature** — changes an engineering capability or system quality. Its value may be indirect,
  but must be measurable: risk/cost reduction, reliability, security, operability, performance,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/collaborative-feature-definition@sha256:d40e4ef14791038b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.c769bd8, 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.
