Design an auditable playbook when no narrower one fits: a large migration, an ambitious multi-part change, or work a human reviews after stepping away. Scales rigor to the task, runs a hypothesis loop, and logs decisions. Use for /figure-it-out or 'figure it out'.
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
# Figure it out When the task matches no playbook, design one. The deliverable before any code is the workflow itself: a sequence of phases that scales rigor to the task, runs the scientific method, and leaves a decision trail a human can audit after stepping away. ## Start Open a todolist whose first item is to read the Principles section of the **poteto-mode** skill. Then add the phases below as todos. ## Phase A: Frame Ground first, then commit. Don't start the run until you can state: - The definition of done as a falsifiable predicate (the **prove-it-works** principle skill). - Scope, quantified: rough units and effort, plus the blockers grounding surfaced. - The rigor level, biased high. One-way doors and high blast radius get more. Reversible low-stakes steps get less. Rigor is gates and artifacts, not "try harder". Present the framing and tradeoffs before committing to a long run. Reversible work proceeds (the **never-block-on-the-human** principle skill), but a multi-hour run earns one checkpoint. ## Phase B: Design the workflow …

How to install
mdr add arjitj2/open-pstack/figure-it-out@sha256:b4358221ab0dd18aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.daa0fc5, 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.
