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

# Design Decisions

Architectural decisions that shape the project. Each entry records what was decided, why, and when to revisit.

## 2026-03-02: No Claude Desktop support (for now)

**Decision:** prfaq remains a Claude Code plugin only. No MCP server or `.mcpb` Desktop Extension.

**Context:** Explored feasibility using langlearn-tts as a reference (see `research/claude-desktop-brainstorm.md`). An MCP server could handle the mechanical parts (compile, export, research) since it runs locally with filesystem and subprocess access. The conversation flow would move to Project Instructions.

**Why not:**
- The target audience (builders, engineers) works in terminals with Claude Code
- Desktop would deliver ~40% of the feature set — no agent orchestration (meetings, parallel personas), no precise editing (feedback, streamline), no slash commands
- DOCX export already solves the "no TeX installation" problem without changing platforms
- The effort (rewrite 3 bash scripts to Python, build MCP server, write Project Instructions, test all output formats) is not justified by the incremental reach

**Revisit when:**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add punt-labs/prfaq/DESIGN.md@sha256:9507a82d2ed2dd18

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260303.b1e608c, 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.
