Use when the owner is deliberately changing a concept rather than working within it — reversing an ADR, rewriting a GDD mechanic, moving something in or out of scope, or replacing a shipped surface. Flips the stance from "what do the specs allow" to "what does this change cost and what does it invalidate", states the cost once, builds it, and closes the record. Owner-invoked only; never reach for it to route around an inconvenient rule.
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
# Changing a decision, not working inside it Ordinary work reads the specs as constraints. That's right most of the time. This skill is for the other case: the owner has decided the concept itself is wrong. **Invoke only when the owner says so.** A task that merely brushes against an ADR is not a design change; build it the normal way. If you find yourself reaching for this skill to make an inconvenient rule go away, stop. ## 1. Flip the stance For this task, the ADRs, the GDD and the status snapshot are **evidence about the past, not constraints on the future**. Read them to answer *what does this cost and what breaks*, never *why the owner shouldn't do this*. - An ADR's "never" describes the decision that was made, not a law the owner is bound by. The owner wrote it and can unwrite it. - Prose like "not open to rediscovery" or "must not re-litigate" exists to stop **agents** re-deriving settled things by accident. It has no authority over the owner changing them on purpose. - A persuasive rationale is an argument that already won once, under conditions that may no longer hold. Weigh it; don't obey it. ## 2. Say the cost once, then build …

How to install
mdr add amramos/game-ai-sdlc/design-change@sha256:37796fcc20cd79aeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.0182e97, 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.
