Use when the user describes a feature to build and needs the Pragmatic.Design NuGet packages and public patterns chosen before implementation, even without the framework's source.
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
# Pragmatic Choose Modules **Covers:** Choose the right Pragmatic.Design .NET NuGet packages and public patterns for a consumer app feature when source code may be unavailable. Use this skill to turn a feature request into a concrete Pragmatic.Design stack. ## Workflow 1. Read `../pragmatic-ecosystem/references/packages.md`, `modules.md`, and `patterns-map.md`. 2. Identify which consumer app feature the request maps to (entities/persistence, actions/endpoints, auth, messaging, jobs, caching, logging). 3. Select the minimal package set. 4. Name the follow-up skills to use (see Skill Routing). 5. Call out integration risks: persistence provider, auth model, messaging/outbox, background work, diagnostics, generated code. ## Decision Rules - Host/bootstrap/DI/modules/startup steps: `Pragmatic.Composition`. - Entity state, repositories, queries, identifiers: `Pragmatic.Persistence`; add `Pragmatic.Persistence.EFCore` for EF Core runtime. - Business commands/queries/mutations: `Pragmatic.Actions`. - HTTP API exposure: `Pragmatic.Endpoints`. - Input validation: `Pragmatic.Validation`. - DTO/entity conversion or EF projection: `Pragmatic.Mapping`. …

How to install
mdr add pragmatic-design/pragmatic.design/pragmatic-choose-modules@sha256:ce2a3b5b8a9d9d76The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.0320b67, 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.
