Use when a request names a working principle (subtract before you add, idempotent operations, never block on the human) or asks which principle applies. Not for running a repair: use strike-the-root.

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

# Principles

Indexed anchor register: 21 named principles, each a law plus the moment it bites. Read the index, jump to the anchor, apply the law. Principles governs judgment only and never executes or mutates. When an anchor requires mutation or execution, route the user to the owning skill (`strike-the-root`, `architect`, `deslop`, `commit`, `ci-cd`) instead of instructing execution. Come here to decide, not to run a repair.

Five anchors carry procedure-dense references (linked inline); the rest are complete at anchor length.

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | A request names a working principle by name or example, or asks which principle governs a decision. |
| Authority | Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation. Names the owning skill for execution. |
| Side effect | Guidance in chat output only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation. |
| Done | The governing principle is named with its law and bite point, and the owning skill is named when the anchor requires execution. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add outlinedriven/odin-claude-plugin/principles@sha256:bca70884dea080a8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.6e06ed3, 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.
