Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions "Q&A", "gather requirements", "ask me questions", "requirements discovery", "interview me", or wants a new concept, template, pattern or process defined via a dedicated <slug>-QA.md log, one question at a time with the interactive question tool. Use it for Gate A discovery, when a new concept/template/pattern needs to be defined, or when you need to capture exactly what the SME needs before authoring. Companion to true-or-false…
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
# Q&A — Requirements Gathering **Invocation:** "Start a Q&A for [topic]", "Gather requirements for [concept/template]", "We need lots of questions before Gate A", "Q&A this process", "Create a QA.md and work through it" ## Purpose & Context To gather requirements for a **new concept, template or pattern** where the shape is not yet known and the SME must define it. Where [true-or-false](../true-or-false/SKILL.md) **confirms** that existing knowledge matches intent, **Q&A gathers** the intent in the first place — one detailed question at a time, with full options, recorded in an independent `<slug>-QA.md` log that becomes the specification for a clear, actionable parcel plan. This skill enforces: - No batch assumptions — every requirement is explicitly asked and explicitly answered. - No lost context — every answer is persisted immediately to the QA log. - No hand-wavy specs — the QA log is the synthesis input for the parcel plan's Scope, Requirements and Change Items. The final goal is a **robust, SME-owned understanding** of the requirement that can be re-baselined directly into `.devops/plans/<slug>-plan.md` and then into a v2 template or pattern spec for Gate A. …

How to install
mdr add cmc-27/pass-the-parcel/q-and-a@sha256:fe4eb9330d5bc281The line at the top of this page pins the label v5, 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.
