Loft the shape before cutting steel — answer a design question that prose cannot settle by building a throwaway artifact: a pure logic module in a clickable shell, or structurally different UI variants behind one route. The captain reacts to the artifact; the answer folds into the decision; the artifact never docks. Use when a design question stalls in words, when a navigator map carries a loft ticket, or when a spec discussion reaches "we would have to see it".
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
# Loft
**Cut no steel until the shape is fair.** Shipwrights loft the hull's lines full-scale and fair them before a single plate is cut. Loft applies the same order to design questions: when words have run out — two plausible answers, neither falsifiable by talk — build a cheap runnable artifact, let the captain react to it, and fold that reaction into the decision.
**The role contract.** The crew builds the artifact; the captain's only job is to react — and that reaction **is** the decision. The artifact is an instrument for seeing, never a head start on the deliverable.
## When to loft
- a design question stalls in prose: repeatedly rephrased, still not settleable ("how should the path page look", "does this state model feel right")
- a navigator map carries a `loft` ticket
- a spec discussion reaches "we would have to see it first"
Do **not** loft when:
- the question is answerable from repo evidence or by asking the captain (that is interviewing, not lofting)
- the destination itself is unclear (that is fog — `/oh-my-claudecode:ask-navigator`)
- the answer already lives in an ADR (do not re-loft settled decisions)

How to install
mdr add naimkatiman/continuous-improvement/loft@sha256:4d2bacc4e665c8cbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.bface5c, 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.
