Change how visibly Claude surfaces analytical work during L3+ analyses. Three modes — guided (announce each phase and pause for /continue), narrated (announce each phase and run end-to-end), autopilot (silent end-to-end, final output only). Use this skill whenever the user invokes `/pace`, `/pace guided`, `/pace narrated`, `/pace autopilot`, or says things like "slow down and walk me through", "pause between steps", "just run it silently", "narrate each step", "don't stop to ask me…

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

# Skill: Pace

## Purpose

Persist the user's explicit choice of **pace mode** — how visibly the analytical
machinery surfaces during L3+ analyses. Pace is orthogonal to complexity level
(L1–L5). Level decides which agents run; pace decides how visible the work is.

## Modes

| Mode | Behavior |
|------|----------|
| `guided` | Announce each phase, run it, **pause** and wait for `/continue` before the next phase |
| `narrated` | Announce each phase, run it, announce the result, continue to the next phase without pausing (the safe default) |
| `autopilot` | Silent end-to-end. No phase banners. The final message is the user's first look at the work: open with the outcome, then findings, then what is next, written for a reader who saw none of the run. |

## Invocation

The user types one of:
- `/pace guided`
- `/pace narrated`
- `/pace autopilot`
- `/pace` (no argument) — show the current mode and the three options
- Natural language: "slow down, pause between steps" → guided; "just run it silently" → autopilot; "narrate but don't stop" → narrated

## Behavior

1. **Resolve the target mode.** If the argument is one of `guided|narrated|autopilot`,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst/pace@sha256:61cd7bda0050a5fd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.b370de6, 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.
