Use when the user knows what they mean but cannot express it completely or clearly. Not for discovery, ideation, or style-only editing: use unslop for style.
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
# Articulate ## Contract | Field | Bound contract | |---|---| | Trigger | The user has an intended thought but cannot yet express it completely or clearly. | | Authority | Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation. Uses only supplied material and confirmed conversation context. | | Side effect | Chat output by default. Replace a supplied draft only when the user explicitly asks for an edit. | | Done | The statement is audience-ready, every sentence is supported, the user's scope and identity are unchanged, and unresolved forks remain visible. | ## Inputs - The thought, fragment, notes, or draft to express. - The intended audience and medium when already known. - Confirmed context from the current conversation. ## Procedure 1. State the thought's invariant core in one sentence. Done when: the invariant core is one sentence. 2. Collect only context already confirmed by the user. Do not research merely to fill a blank. Done when: only confirmed context is collected. …

How to install
mdr add outlinedriven/outline-driven-development/articulate@sha256:8fb4d4012ec2f742The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.5c5b759, 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.
