Explore competing approaches through independent agents before selecting an implementation.

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

Explore `$ARGUMENTS` and produce approaches with distinct core mechanisms. Use the smallest useful set of independent explorers; add one only to cover a material alternative or unresolved gap. If delegation is unavailable, disclose that limit and explore sequentially without claiming independence.

Establish the raw problem, actual constraints, and obvious solutions. Reframe where it exposes a different mechanism; do not force reframing for a bounded problem. Give explorers the same relevant repository context, their chosen method, and a distinct question or provocation. They must not see each other's proposals. Reframings are optional starting points, not constraints. Send revisions back to their authors.

Choose methods that expose different mechanisms; this is a menu, not required coverage:

| Method | Approach and check |
| --- | --- |
| Build upward | Start with the smallest useful unit; check emergent needs and necessary upfront investment. |
| Work backward | Derive prerequisites from the ideal outcome; check the path is buildable. |
| Constraint first | Solve or dissolve the hardest constraints; preserve the user outcome. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jhostalek/dotclaude/design@sha256:d9936ca71e63fa7a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.f4df904, 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.
