Wardley Mapping reference for a map, a positioning question or a strategic read: value-chain decomposition, evolution stages, OnlineWardleyMaps syntax, gameplay, doctrine and climatic patterns, build-versus-buy and inertia. Also loaded while a WARD artefact is being written. Not needed when the request is for a governed Wardley artefact with document control; the /arckit:wardley, wardley.value-chain, wardley.doctrine, wardley.gameplay and wardley.climate commands produce those.
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
# Wardley Mapping
A strategic mapping technique created by Simon Wardley for understanding competitive landscape, technology evolution, and making informed architectural decisions. A Wardley Map visualizes four dimensions: the **value chain** (components needed to meet user needs), **evolution** (how components mature over time), the **landscape** (competitive environment), and **movement** (how the landscape changes).
**This skill ships reference material, not runnable scripts.** Read the relevant section here (or the linked references) with `Read`, apply the OnlineWardleyMaps syntax, and write the map into the user's artefact. Do not `Bash`-execute anything from this skill — there is no script to run.
## Map Structure
The following diagram illustrates the conceptual axes of a Wardley Map. For the generation template with placeholders, see the Map Template section below.

How to install
mdr add tractorjuice/arckit-claude/wardley-mapping@sha256:f3464946dcf914f9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.754c23b, 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.
