Canonical CTA "Next Step" block format for every /dr-* command and pipeline agent. Load when generating slash-command output or finishing a phase.

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

# CTA Format — Canonical Specification

This skill is the **single source of truth** for the "Next Step" Call-to-Action block (the numbered Next-Step menu at the end of every pipeline command, one entry marked recommended) produced by every `/dr-*` command and every pipeline agent (`planner`, `architect`, `developer`, `reviewer`, `compliance`).

It exists because free-form Next-Step prose forces operators to mentally map task IDs to commands, especially when two or more tasks are active. The fix: every command output ends with a structured, predictable CTA block ([definition](../cta-format/SKILL.md)) with explicit task IDs and one marked primary action.

## When to Apply

- Any `/dr-*` command finishing its work — at the very end of the response.
- Any agent (planner / architect / developer / reviewer / compliance) returning control to the operator.
- After a phase boundary in `/dr-prd`, `/dr-plan`, `/dr-design`, `/dr-do`.
- After a QA / Compliance verdict (PASS, CONDITIONAL_PASS, BLOCKED, NON-COMPLIANT) — see § FAIL-Routing.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arcanada-one/datarim/cta-format@sha256:d362228d9dd7b337

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.9edafd3, 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.
