Lightweight Michi discipline for everyday work — bug fixes, small features, quick investigations, focused improvements. Same rigor as planning plus session, less ceremony; `bugfix` mode is leaner still. Use for work too small to need a separate plan and session, or when the user asks to fix a bug, make a small change, or quickly look into something.

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

# Michi Workshop

The everyday carry tool. Same discipline as planning plus session, less ceremony. Strong on rigor, flexible on process.

**Workshop holds "what does done mean" and "how to build it" in one head.** Planning + session deliberately separates
those modes — defining requirements and verification first, then implementing. Use workshop when that separation
isn't earning its weight; escalate when it is. Size correlates (smaller work usually doesn't need the split) but
isn't the criterion. Risk is a separate axis, handled inside workshop via *Mind the Complexity and Uncertainty*
(see below).

Bug fixes, small features, quick investigations, focused improvements — these are workshop's natural shape.
**When the pocket Leatherman is enough, don't reach for the full cycle.**

**This skill encodes the questions Michi asks, not the artifacts Michi produces.** Artifacts emerge when the work demands
them.

**Principles served:** See `references/principles.md`. The workshop internalizes these — especially surface assumptions,
verification governs autonomy, and sustain the system.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add csepulv/michi/michi-workshop@sha256:6a9080139e724a7a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.9667115, 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.
