Ask which skill or flow fits your situation. A router over the skills in this repo.
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
# Ask Matt You don't remember every skill, so ask. Before stating what a skill does or recommending a step be skipped, read that skill's SKILL.md: the summaries here are for orientation only. A **flow** is a path through the skills. Most paths run along one **main flow**, and two **on-ramps** merge onto it. Everything else is standalone, or a vocabulary layer that runs underneath. ## The main flow: idea → ship The route most work travels. You have an idea and want it built. <!-- CORE-OVERLAY-START --> 1. **Choose the grill depth.** Use **`/grill-with-docs`** for the normal codebase-backed interview: it is stateful, retaining what it learns in `CONTEXT.md` and ADRs. Use **`/grill-for-unknowns` instead** only when the user explicitly requests its map-vs-territory pass, blindspot/unknown-unknown discovery, unknown-known prototypes, or a subagent launch packet; it owns that session's grilling loop, so do not also run `/grilling` or `/grill-with-docs`. (No codebase? Use `/grill-me` — see Standalone.) <!-- CORE-OVERLAY-END --> …

How to install
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/ask-matt@sha256:f5c8dee13ae6ed39The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.752a38b, 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.
