Launch a consulting engagement with a focused kickoff, discovery plan, stakeholder assessment, and working arrangements. Use after award or when resetting an engagement that lacks shared scope, access, or decision authority.

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

# Engagement Setup

Turn the agreed engagement into a shared problem definition, access to evidence, working ownership, and useful early progress. Preserve the contract, approved scope, existing work, and client's operating requirements. Do not replay sales qualification after award or impose enterprise governance on a small advisory task.

Use the brief, contract, known team, timeline, and available data. Draft supported portions while recording missing information. Ask only when a missing answer changes the scope or makes the plan unusable. Mark unknown stakeholder positions and proposed commitments rather than filling them with plausible names, dates, or attitudes.

## Prepare the launch

Identify the outcome, decision-maker, scope boundaries, deliverables, success evidence, dependencies, and near-term decisions. Compare expectations with the agreement and make discrepancies visible. Separate contractual commitments from planning assumptions.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add anotb/management-consulting-plugin/engagement-setup@sha256:8375f1d12e7a56dd

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.3.1, 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.
