Create, revise, or review a Process Description—the Purpose, observable Outcomes, boundaries, and necessary detail of work—including the body of an Agent Skill's SKILL.md. Use when defining or reviewing what work must achieve and how success is judged; designing the agents, tools, and environment that carry out the work is outside this Skill.

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

# Process Description Design

## Purpose

Establish the adequacy of an understandable, applicable, and evaluable Process Description that makes the target work's purpose and success conditions clear with necessary and sufficient boundaries and detail, or make the description's deficiencies and limits explicit. This concerns work meaning, not the configuration that performs the work.

## Outcomes

- The target work's Purpose and applicable scope, and its boundaries where adjacent work overlaps or the boundary is otherwise ambiguous, are identified in the description, or findings identify what is not identified.
- The description's Outcomes are observable result conditions individually necessary and collectively sufficient for the Purpose, or findings identify each unmet property.
- The description contains the detail needed to understand, apply, and evaluate the work and no detail that serves none of these, or findings identify missing or superfluous detail.
- Execution means remain open except where applicable conditions require them, or findings identify unnecessary fixing.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mashimashica/alps/design-process-description@sha256:af95266f4dd2b3c8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.1c9eebd, 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.
