Activate when: a founder is running on empty, working unsustainable hours, or output/judgment is degrading; 'I'm burning out', 'I can't keep this pace', protecting the founder as the company's key asset. Do NOT activate when: it's a short, bounded sprint by choice with recovery planned. More: deciqai.com/s/founder-burnout-sustainability.
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
# Founder Sustainability — Protect the Company's Key Asset ## Overview In a small company the founder *is* the critical infrastructure: when their energy, health, or judgment fails, the company fails. Burnout isn't a badge — it degrades exactly the decision quality the business depends on, and it's usually the result of an unsustainable system, not weak willpower. Treating founder sustainability as an operational requirement (not self-indulgence) protects the highest-leverage asset you have. ## The Process 1. **Read the early signals** — dread, cynicism, dropping output/decision quality, sleep/health slipping. *Gate: if judgment is already degrading, this is an operational risk, not a mood — act now.* 2. **Find the real driver** — chronic overload, no recovery, isolation, or lack of progress/control (each has a different fix). 3. **Protect the non-negotiables** — sleep, exercise, relationships; these are inputs to decision quality, not rewards for finishing. 4. **Cut or delegate the load** — ruthless prioritization, SOP + delegate/automate the draining repetitive work (see sop-systemization, when-to-make-first-hires). …

How to install
mdr add deciqai/knowledge-skills/founder-burnout-sustainability@sha256:b12a324ae473d3b9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.cb4e537, 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.
