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
> **DEPRECATED** — Opus 4.7 uses adaptive thinking (optional at each step) and Sonnet 4.6 > handles structured chain-of-thought natively. For most tasks, prompting "Think carefully > and step-by-step; this is harder than it looks" elicits the required depth. This > methodology is retained as a reference pattern when deterministic, reviewable reasoning > traces are required (audits, proofs, post-hoc analysis) regardless of the model's > adaptive-thinking choice. # Sequential Thinking Structured, reflective problem-solving methodology that replaces the Sequential Thinking MCP server's `sequentialthinking` tool with zero-cost instructional prompting. Replaces: `@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking` (1 tool, ~1,800 tokens/turn saved) ## Quick Reference | Capability | Old MCP Tool | New Approach | | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | | Step-by-step reasoning | `sequentialthinking(thought, thoughtNumber, ...)` | Follow methodology below | …

How to install
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/sequential-thinking@sha256:fea976bf20eca00aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, 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.
