How to break non-trivial work into independently verifiable steps ordered by uncertainty reduction. Trigger: load before acting on work whose plan can fail expensively — changes spanning several files or systems, an ordered migration or upgrade, or a plan resting on an assumption not yet checked. Not for a task whose steps are obvious and each reversible; once a step has run and failed or surprised you, that is lh-next-step.
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
## Critical Patterns ### 1. Find the load-bearing unknown first Before ordering steps, ask: **which single assumption, if wrong, invalidates the whole plan?** That is the load-bearing unknown. Attack it first, even if it isn't "step 1" in the natural sequence. A plan that defers its riskiest assumption is a plan for doing the work twice. Confidence is the cue to look, not the excuse to skip: a plan you feel sure about is where a hidden assumption is most likely doing load-bearing work. ### 2. Order by uncertainty reduction per unit of cost Not by logical sequence, not by ease. The best next step is the cheapest one that teaches you the most about whether the plan survives. Cheap-and-revealing beats easy-and-safe. ### 3. Every step must be independently verifiable A step you cannot verify on its own is two steps fused together — split it until each one produces observable evidence (a passing test, a command output, a rendered screen). "Half of the refactor" is not a step; "the module compiles and its tests pass with the new interface" is. ### 4. Slice vertically, not horizontally Prefer a thin end-to-end slice (one feature working through all layers) over a …

How to install
mdr add jrodrigopuca/local-agents/lh-decomposition@sha256:366a80ff624cf8e2The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, 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.
