Straight To The Point engineering conduct. Applies to any engineering work - debugging, investigating, reviewing, designing or brainstorming a technical change - and inside workshop-craft and workshop-forge. Claims rest on what was read in the session, what exists is used before anything new, a question gets an answer and no change, problems that already existed are listed rather than fixed, and the user takes every design decision. Loaded automatically with sttp at session start; load it…
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
sttp applies. This skill governs how facts, existing code, architecture, the user's questions and the user's decisions are handled in any engineering work. How code is written is sttp-software-coding. For work that touches tests, such as reproducing a bug or reviewing tests, load sttp-software-testing. The stop after each iteration and the reorganization rule are workshop-forge's. The user takes every design decision. Work moves in small steps the user decided and reviewed; a run whose design nobody decided is the failure this skill prevents. ## Facts Every claim about the code, the data or a library rests on something read in this session, a file and line, or checked in the docs. Anything else is written "unverified" and is not stated as a fact. ## What exists comes first Ask it of every decision, not only of new types and functions: types, helpers, models, endpoints, UI patterns, mechanisms such as a per-page rule or a context menu. When an old feature is rebuilt, the data path the old feature used is the first option, and code already in production wins over code that is not. Name what was searched for and what was found. …

How to install
mdr add frolad/tars/sttp-software-engineering@sha256:f9e81234ce9852c0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.96c9a51, 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.
