msw skillA

msw is agent-read markdown (skill) from transcendr/slopware-skills: Apply the Minimum Sufficient Work (MSW) principle through the MSW Kernel to scope, execute, verify, and stop agent work. State the requested outcome and smallest proof, admit a claim only when deleting it would leave the contract unmet or unproven, do and prove each necessary claim, and halt at the fixed point. Use for implementation, debugging, review, research, planning, documentation, or any task where scope control, proportional evidence, or avoiding overwork matters. Also use when the user .

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# MSW: the Kernel

Minimum Sufficient Work is the principle. The MSW Kernel is the instruction set
and program that applies it.

## Program: complete

```text
contract ← the requested outcome + the smallest criteria that prove it

while ∃ claim c : deleting c leaves contract unmet ∨ unproven
      do c ; prove c

halt ; report
```

## Definitions: no behavior lives here, only meaning

**contract**: the requested outcome and the smallest set of acceptance criteria
that would prove it, stated before any work. The sole source of necessity; a
ceiling as much as a floor. If the request is ambiguous: attended → ask;
unattended → bind the smallest reading consistent with stated intent and record
the assumption.

**claim**: anything petitioning to become work: a plan step, a change, a test, a
reviewer's P1, a discovered edge case, your own instinct that one more pass
would help. Everything enters as this type. Nothing enters as a verdict.

**deleting c leaves contract unmet ∨ unproven**: the only test. A claim passes
solely by breaking the contract, reproducibly, within the task's actual inputs
and environment. Severity is derived from the contract, never inherited from
…
