Use when the user (or the advisor) wants to design and register a NEW optional pipeline phase conversationally — "add a phase that does X". Interviews for goal-type, trigger signal, report sections, and verdict; synthesizes a phase.json + persona; registers them via `evolve phases create`; self-corrects from the command's JSON envelope. The Go binary is the single enforcement point, so this flow works from any LLM CLI.

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

# Phase Create — conversational phase registration (ADR-0038)

You turn a phase *idea* into a registered, advisor-selectable pipeline phase. All
validation, collision-checking, scaffolding, and index rebuilding live in
`evolve phases create` — your job is to design a good spec, call the command,
and self-correct from its JSON envelope. Never write `.evolve/phases/` or
`agents/` files directly; the command is the only sanctioned writer.

## What a phase IS here

A phase is pure declarative config: a `phase.json` descriptor (the contract)
plus a persona markdown (the prompt). No executable code. User phases are
always `optional:true`, `kind:"llm"`, and can never displace the
build→audit→ship spine — the same gates and policies apply to every phase.

## Stage 1 — Interview (one question at a time)

Establish, in order:

1. **Purpose** — one sentence: what does the phase produce? (becomes `description`)
2. **Archetype** — `plan` (decides/scopes before build) or `evaluate` (verifies
   after build). User phases are never `build`/`control`.
3. **Goal types** — which cycles is it for? `categories`: subset of
   bugfix | feature | refactor | security | performance | release | docs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mickeyyaya/evolve-loop/phase-create@sha256:c45b0a237e32032a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260623.f89f6fd, 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.
