Use at the start of a new task -- before writing or editing code -- when the request is vague, the scope boundaries are unclear, or the acceptance criteria for "done" have not been stated.

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

## Purpose

Never start implementing blindly. When you receive a new task, force clarification of boundaries and expected outcomes before touching files. A few minutes of intake prevents building the wrong thing.

## When to Use

- At the beginning of any new task, before the first edit
- The request is ambiguous, broad, or missing files, logs, or environment details
- You cannot yet state how the result will be tested or what is out of scope

## Inputs

- The user's task request
- Read access to the repo (to confirm files and the current state exist)

## Workflow

1. **Restate the goal.** Summarize the user's request in your own words and ask them to confirm. A probing question here: "You want X to do Y instead of Z — is that right?"
2. **Pin down scope.** Identify explicitly what you are *not* going to do. If the user asked to fix a button, do not refactor the routing layer. Ask: "Should this change touch only the button handler, or is the surrounding component in scope too?"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/task-intake@sha256:a5cbc3682773e20c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.a18172b, 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.
