Use this skill for Shape Up step 7 (Orient) — the builder-led reconnaissance pass that runs AFTER kick-off and BEFORE any task board exists. Triggers on: "orient on this feature", "scout the codebase for this pitch", "where does this pitch touch the code", "do an orient pass", "recon before we plan", "spike the riskiest part before mapping scopes". The loop (`/ship`) invokes it at step 7, before the plan activity (Map Scopes, step 8). Use it even when the user describes…
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
# Orient — the Scout (Shape Up step 7)
In Shape Up, the team that builds also **orients**: after kick-off they read the real code,
spike the scary parts, and let reality generate **Discovered tasks** — which outnumber the
imagined ones. This skill is that pass, made explicit. It exists because the orchestrator
(`building`) must *delegate* orientation, and the generator (`task-executor`) can't host it:
its first gate needs a task file, and **at Orient time no board exists yet** — the board is
mapped *after* this pass, by the plan activity at step 8.
So the Scout's whole job is to make the planner's board **reality-born instead of imagined**.
It hands the plan step a map of where the pitch lands in real code, the findings from de-risking the
single scariest area, and a seed list of tasks (imagined + already-discovered). Nothing more.
```
PO: shaping → bet → kick-off ──► the loop ──► ORIENT (you) ──► plan (Map Scopes) ──► build
reads code, spikes, seeds
```

How to install
mdr add nguyenvanphituoc/shapeup-sdlc-plugin/orient@sha256:af3b64a0b27cb1b1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.7150974, 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.
