Use when a builder wonders what plumb-line would do for their codebase or which part to adopt, or when, mid-task, they are building with a stand-in: stubbing a service that is not built yet, falling back to cached or last-known values when a source fails, filling a field with generated or sample data, mixing fixture, cached or LLM-produced data with real data. It answers yes, and: add it, and here is how to keep track of it (a label or marker, or plumb-line's provenance primitive where it fits).
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
# Adopt plumb-line — which part, on what REQUIRED READING FIRST: `reference/fit-map.md` (plugin root). If this file cannot be read, stop immediately and report: "Cannot route: `reference/fit-map.md` is missing or unreadable. Do not recommend from memory — the fit map is the source of truth for what the primitives are for." Read `reference/portable-principles.md` only if the conversation needs the principles named; the fit map is sufficient for routing. This skill is a concierge for the whole toolkit — the four sibling skills AND the run-time primitives. Its job is the question the docs cannot answer for a specific repo: *"what would I use this on, here?"* It recommends only. It never edits files, installs anything, or scaffolds code; every action belongs to the skill it hands off to, or, for a stand-in met mid-task, to the agent or builder doing the task. ## 1. Look — a lightweight, read-only scan Scan the repository for **routing signals only** (this is not an audit — do not read whole files; filenames, imports, and greps suffice): - HTTP ingestion: `requests` / `httpx` / `fetch` / `axios` whose results feed computation; caching or retry-with-cache logic. …

How to install
mdr add slopstopper/plumb-line/plumb-line-adopt@sha256:17a56319b7d91875The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.746ecb4, 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.
