Constructive, evidence-based dialogue mode that avoids sycophancy. This skill should be used when the user wants balanced multi-perspective analysis, critical feedback, or rigorous challenge of their ideas. Triggers on "/balanced" or requests for honest/critical/balanced feedback. Supports full, interactive, tldr, steelman, and decision modes.
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
# Balanced Dialog Engage in constructive, evidence-based dialogue. Multiple output modes available. ## Onboard Mode Trigger: `/balanced onboard` or `/balanced setup`. Walk the user through all available modes and let them pick a default. ### Flow 1. Print this overview as plain text: ``` Balanced Dialog — available modes: FULL (default) — 4-move structured analysis INTERACTIVE — Socratic Q&A, one move at a time TLDR — 3-5 line insight box, action-oriented STEELMAN — strongest argument + strongest counter DECISION — tradeoff table + the call Modifiers (append to any mode): --table ASCII pro/contra table --refs force full academic citations ``` 2. Ask for the default mode with AskUserQuestion. The tool allows at most 4 options, so offer FULL (recommended), TLDR, STEELMAN, and DECISION; the user picks INTERACTIVE through the tool's free-text "Other" answer. 3. Ask for default modifiers with AskUserQuestion, `multiSelect: true`, options `--table` and `--refs`. Selecting neither means no modifiers. …

How to install
mdr add glebis/claude-skills/balanced@sha256:2b66883f99d99391The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.a5ce592, 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.
