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 / decision tickets — SOP (Catalyst-wide)
> Rules v3 (Ryan, 2026-08-15 → 08-17). Applies to every Catalyst-managed Linear project and every agent,
> Claude or Codex. Full plugin verb: **CTL-1922**.
**Paths.** Commands below name files inside this skill's own directory as `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/…`. Claude Code fills that in. On any other harness, set CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR to the absolute directory that contains this SKILL.md before running them. If you cannot, stop and report `skill_dir_unresolved`.
## 0. Setup check (first, every session)
`node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/identity-report.mjs"` — one line per identity (tenant, human, team, cloud host), CTL-2300. An `unresolved` line is a stop-and-say: this skill files a decision **for** a human **on** a team, and an unresolved identity there is an ask that reaches nobody while looking filed.
## 1. What an ask ticket is
A ticket that exists ONLY to obtain one human decision or action. It is **not** the work — that lives on its own tickets, which the ask `blocks →`. Anything reaching the human as "needs you" **must be an ask**, never a status paragraph.

How to install
mdr add coalesce-labs/catalyst/ask@sha256:b1f11bbb8e4cfa4aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.a14ac7d, 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.
