Use when the user gives a written brief for a new floor plan (rooms, areas, how rooms connect, a plot size) and wants the drawing, e.g. "design a two-bedroom flat of about 75 m²" or "lay out a small office with four rooms". Writes an ArchLang .arch file from the brief, checks it against the brief with the archlang CLI, and finishes it as a sheet. Not for changing an existing plan (archlang-edit-plan) or for exporting one (archlang-export).

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

# Brief to plan

Turn a written brief into a checked `.arch` floor plan. Every step is a CLI call; never judge the
plan from the SVG markup.
If `archlang` is not on the path, write `npx -y @chanmeng666/archlang` in its place.
Never run a bare `arch`: on Linux, macOS and Git Bash that name is the coreutils command.

This skill is a workflow, not a language reference. The language is whatever `archlang spec` prints.

## Scope

- Run the `archlang` CLI commands below and no other program.
- Write one new plan file, `plan.arch` here or the name the user gives, in the user's working
  directory, plus the drawings the CLI renders beside it. If a file of that name already exists,
  ask the user before replacing it.
- The user's explicit instructions take priority over these steps.

## Steps

1. **Read the language.** Run `archlang spec` and read all of it before writing a line. For one
   command's flags and examples run `archlang <cmd> --help`, for example `archlang finish --help`.
2. **List what the brief asks for.** Write down each room, each stated area, each stated
   connection ("opens off the hall"), each stated window, and any outer size. Keep numbers exactly
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chanmeng666/archlang/archlang-brief-to-plan@sha256:fcef5298c1531557

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.c95600e, 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.
