Classify any incoming directive as Ship / Ask one focused question / Propose first. Forces a sharp decision instead of a multi-option survey to the principal. The default failure mode for agents is treating ship-work as ask-work (over-surveying) or treating propose-work as ship-work (rushing irreversible changes). This skill prevents both.

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

# Envelope

Sort an incoming request into one of three envelopes — **A: Ship**, **B: Ask one focused question**, **C: Propose first** — and act accordingly.

## When to use

- The principal gives a directive and you're tempted to respond with multiple clarifying questions
- The work involves a fork in the road and you're tempted to present multiple options
- Before posting any "should I…?" question
- Triggered by Caddy on prompts like: "should I", "before I start", "is this clear", "is this OK", "couple options", "two paths", "ambiguous", "not sure if you want", "want me to", "ship vs ask", "decision tree", "fork in the road"

## The decision tree (run top-to-bottom)

```
1. Is the request unambiguous?
   YES → step 2
   NO  → can I resolve the ambiguity by reading code/data/docs?
         YES → resolve, then step 2
         NO  → ENVELOPE B: ask exactly one focused question with options spelled out

2. Is the change reversible?
   YES → step 3
   NO  → is the irreversibility expensive? (data loss, schema migration, deploy, broken contract)
         YES → ENVELOPE C: propose first, wait for sign-off
         NO  → step 3

3. Is the change bounded to a known surface area?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wrg32786/aigent-os/Envelope@sha256:963b2f42a92725c1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260707.2a2e857, 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.
