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

# Design step

## Needs-input guard

A blank or vague scope or acceptance-criteria input is a gap, not a licence to
infer. The order is fixed: search the repository's own docs first and append an
`open-question` row to the unit folder's `decisions.md` recording where; research
an external gap into 2–3 concrete options. A gap surviving both runs
`bun scripts/needs-input.mjs <unit-dir>` (node fallback if bun is not installed), pastes the `open-questions@1` block
and stops — route `design` for scope/architecture questions. "Decide for me" is
a legitimate answer: the lane chooses and records the choice with its reason.
Cheap-to-change defaults are recorded as assumptions, never silent.

## Purpose

Run **investigate → orient → ask → decide**: every claim the SPEC makes is
entered in a ledger that cites its source, and entity, role, and expectation
boundaries close. The unit of progress is a **claim with a source** — a claim no
source or owner answer supports is a defect, not a judgment call.

## Inputs

- The unit's objective, why, and user outcome from the SPEC
- The user's original request, the repository's current state, and the

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gtrabanco/agentic-workflow/skills/unit-lane/references/DESIGN.md@sha256:e2592655d08f1575

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.784390d, 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.
