Apply Moore's Law when discussing hardware capacity planning, compute cost trends, the feasibility of computationally intensive features, why software that was impractical five years ago is now possible, or the historical arc of what computers can do. Trigger on phrases like "this requires too much compute", "hardware will catch up", "we couldn't do this ten years ago", "cloud compute is getting cheaper", "what can we expect hardware to look like in 5 years?", or any discussion where the trend…

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

# Moore's Law

> "The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year."
> — Gordon Moore, 1965

## The core idea

Gordon Moore, a co-founder of Intel, observed in 1965 that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit had been doubling roughly every year (later revised to every two years). He predicted this trend would continue.

For roughly five decades, he was right — with enormous consequences for everything in computing. Processing power roughly doubled every two years, while cost per transistor fell. The smartphone in your pocket is more powerful than the most powerful computer on earth from the early 1980s.

## What Moore's Law actually explains

Moore's Law isn't just a trivia fact — it's the engine behind most of what changed in computing since 1965:

- **Software became possible that previously wasn't.** 3D graphics, real-time voice recognition, video streaming, machine learning — all were theoretically understood long before hardware made them practical.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer/moores-law@sha256:1c3f094567bcba0e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260530.3e17152, 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.
