Multi-AI requirements scoping using available external providers (Double Diamond Define phase). Priority triggers: octo define, octo scope, co-define, co-scope. DO NOT use for implementation, research, review/validation, or built-in commands.
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
{{PREAMBLE}}
Load `skills/blocks/engineering-method-selection.md` from the installed plugin
and apply only the methods relevant to this task. Preserve this entry point's
execution contract and output format. Read referenced skills as instructions;
do not invoke the current command recursively or add provider calls from a seat.
## Shared definitions
Load the project's existing glossary and decisions when they apply. If none
exists, use `skills/blocks/domain-modeling.md` and add a short definitions section
to the current design artifact. Do not create a parallel context or memory file.
Keep installation, authentication, entitlement, readiness, billing, quota, seat,
contribution, and vote distinct.
## Pre-Definition: State Check
Before starting definition:
1. Read `.octo/STATE.md` to verify Discover phase complete
2. Update STATE.md:
- current_phase: 2
- phase_position: "Definition"
- status: "in_progress"
```bash
# Verify Discover phase is complete
if [[ -f ".octo/STATE.md" ]]; then
discover_status=$("${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin/scripts/octo-state.sh" get_phase_status 1)
if [[ "$discover_status" != "complete" ]]; then
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/flow-define@sha256:c50d43371c9c6d5cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.dbf6863, 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.
