Entry point for ALL work requests - triages scope from trivial to massive, asks clarifying questions, and routes to appropriate planning skills. Use this when receiving any new work request.

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

# Work Intake

## Overview

Every work request flows through intake. This skill determines scope, gathers requirements, and routes to the appropriate workflow.

**Core principle:** No work is too small to track, no work is too large to decompose.

**Announce at start:** "I'm using work-intake to understand and scope this request before beginning."

## The Intake Flow

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add nicepkg/ai-workflow/work-intake@sha256:862dba0dc62930c5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260118.be84779, 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.
