Develop a project endgoal through N bounded cycles of brainstorm and research, design, implementation, comparison testing and analysis.
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
Use the [handoff contract](../../references/design-loop-contract.md). Inputs: endgoal, starting workspace/artifacts, output directory and optional N, criteria, constraints, domains and scoped model/effort choices. Reuse context and extend it for new work. ## Bounds `N` caps attempted cycles, including the first PoC and failures. Require a positive integer; default to 3 and state it. Apply core's iteration bounds; brainstorming is a cycle's first work. Run through N unless the caller stops, a resource bound is reached, required capability or authorization is missing, or explicit stop-on-goal applies. Goal attainment alone does not shorten the run. Choose stage assignments under core execution rules, preserving dependencies, independent testing and caller limits. ## Run 1. Establish or resume the checkpoint, state N and bounds, and preserve the initial baseline. Start each cycle from the last accepted state. Target the smallest working PoC first; later cycles use accumulated decisions and observations, including failures. …

How to install
mdr add danmcinerney/orchflows/design-loop@sha256:e9c8a5e8fb70cabaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.7150535, 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.
