Interviews an unshaped idea into a verdict and a design document - decisions, flows, schema, contracts - that anyone can plan from without having been in the room. Use when the user says "research this", "help me understand this problem", "should we build this", "discovery", "explore this problem", or "tlc-discover". Do NOT use to cut a finished design into tasks, or to implement.

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

# TLC Discover

Find out where this project actually is. Understand the problem. Decide whether to solve it. Then, and only then, decide how.

```
SITUATION ────→ PROBLEM ───────→ VERDICT ───────→ DECIDE
(where this     (no solution     (a stop, or a    (two shapes, costed
 project is)     proposed yet)    record)          against this repo)
```

**These are not a script, they are the prerequisite order.** What you run is an interview: ask whatever is answerable given what is settled, and stop when nothing answerable is left. The order falls out on its own, because *how* has *whether* as a prerequisite and *whether* has *where we are*. Marching them as four acts is how a discovery asks a project that never shipped what its problem costs today.

The failure that matters here is not inventing a fact, it is **converging early**: proposing a solution on turn two, hearing "sure", and manufacturing a decision that has all the authority of one and none of the examination. Everything below exists to make that harder.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tech-leads-club/agent-skills/tlc-discover@sha256:bae01931aa1a95c0

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.9.0, 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.
