tightbeam-archetype-cultivation skillA

tightbeam-archetype-cultivation is agent-read markdown (skill) from clickety-clacks/tightbeam: The method for maturing an archetype from accreted bullets into a disciplined role — research, restructure, tier, verify, rail. Use when formalizing or overhauling any archetype's guidance and skills..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified before it reaches your agent: the main file against the SHA-256 recorded here, the others against the git hashes of its source commit. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Proven on the default archetype and on a domain archetype. Steps, in order; cite wisdom N
throughout.

1. RESEARCH the discipline: the role's professional tenets AND its named anti-patterns
   (the traps are more actionable than the virtues). Web research; distill only the
   non-obvious.
2. REWRITE THE KERNEL by duty and contact-mode, not accreted bullets: identity
   sentence carrying APPETITE (the role WANTS its outcome), then sections per
   situation ("on user contact", "when X fails"). No per-wake rituals; scope duties
   to who triggers them.
3. GIVE THE ROLE A DURABLE ARTIFACT it maintains (user.md, a role-owned decision record):
   the written trace that survives context resets, records decisions and DECLINES so
   nothing is re-asked, and gives rails something to check.
4. TIER EVERYTHING (wisdom 15-17): reflexes, triggers, and detection in the always-on
   kernel; ceremony and craft in progressively-disclosed skills; a skill must never
   be what tells you to load it.
5. MAKE TRIGGERS CONCRETE: observable in-turn events ("the user corrected your
   reframe"), never vibes, never thresholds. Include out-of-turn thinking where the

How to install

Latest version
mdr add clickety-clacks/tightbeam/tightbeam-archetype-cultivation@git:20260905.fcf177f
Exact content
mdr add clickety-clacks/tightbeam/tightbeam-archetype-cultivation@sha256:305acaa7176042c1

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 for exact bytes. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install fetches those bytes again and checks them, so it installs them exactly or fails.
