Find where a small push changes the whole system. Use when local fixes keep failing, "where should we intervene?", recurring organizational patterns (shifting the burden, escalation, tragedy of the commons), behavior driven by stocks/flows/delays, adoption stalling, or shared resources being depleted.
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
# Systems Leverage **Problem shape:** the system misbehaves as a whole while every part looks locally fine. Interventions at the parameter level keep failing because the structure — feedback loops, stocks, delays, governance rules — produces the behavior. The move: map the structure, rank the leverage points, intervene as high as is accessible. ## Relevant geniuses | Agent | Use when | |---|---| | [meadows](../../agents/genius/meadows.md) | many possible interventions, unclear where to focus; recurring archetype; confusing accumulation-and-delay behavior | | [beer](../../agents/genius/beer.md) | organization fails despite local fixes — audit the five viable-system functions; variety mismatch with the environment | | [kauffman](../../agents/genius/kauffman.md) | system too rigid or too chaotic — tune connectivity; explore the adjacent possible instead of leaping | | [deming](../../agents/genius/deming.md) | management reacts to noise; quality inspected in at the end instead of built into the process | …

How to install
mdr add cdeust/zetetic-team-subagents/systems-leverage@sha256:f57578b0e5fe01adThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.4372ea9, 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.
