Ask which skill or flow fits your situation. A router over the skills in this collection.

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

# Ask Matt

You don't remember every skill, so ask.

A **flow** is a path through the skills. Most paths run along one **main flow**, and two **on-ramps** merge onto it. Everything else is standalone, or a vocabulary layer that runs underneath.

## The main flow: idea → ship

The route most work travels. You have an idea and want it built.

1. **`grilling`** sharpens the idea by interview. Start here whenever you are **working in a working directory**: it's stateful, retaining what it learns in `CONTEXT.md` and ADRs. (No working directory? Run `grilling` statelessly anyway — it saves nothing locally and builds no `CONTEXT.md`. Either way, the grilling discipline is the same.)
2. **Branch: can you settle every question in conversation?** If a question needs a runnable answer (state, business logic, a UI you have to see), detour through a prototype, bridged by **`handoff`** in both directions (a prototype lives in its own directory, which is exactly what `handoff` is for; see Phase boundaries):
   - **`handoff`** out, then open a fresh session against that file,
   - **`prototype`** to answer the question with throwaway code,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aicodedecode/awesome-muse-skills/ask-matt@sha256:d52a0208b5303fb8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.806f3e1, 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.
