Foundational review before an irreversible decision (freeze, format/schema/spec tag, public flip, major re-scope): verdict + premises + A–F + irreversibility inventory → design spec → plan → /prospect. Requires a named decision (else redirects). (Cowork variant — namespaced-only; no subagents.).
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
# /foundational-review — "Is this the right thing, built the right way?" The Cowork variant of the foundational review chain. Same genre as `/aria-cowork:prospect` (plan pre-mortem) and `/aria-cowork:retrospect` (post-ship) — but aimed at a **decision**, not a plan or a diff: run it before a one-way door (freeze, format/schema/spec tag, public API or repo flip, major re-scope, or a "should we keep building this" moment). ## Runtime Gate (per ADR-094) **Canonical resolution:** This is the Claude Cowork variant — namespaced-only. When both `plugin-claude-code` and `plugin-claude-cowork` are loaded in the same session, bare `/foundational-review` resolves to aria-knowledge's variant — Code is the canonical owner of all dual-port skills per ADR-094 §Part 1. To reach this skill, use the namespaced form: `/aria-cowork:foundational-review`. Do NOT match bare `/foundational-review` — that belongs to aria-knowledge. …

How to install
mdr add mikeprasad/aria-knowledge/foundational-review@sha256:a192aed56ee4400fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.e9e0353, 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.
