decompose SKILL.md skillA

decompose from arbiterforge/codearbiter is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/decompose@git:20261016.a9f63fc

Pins git:20261016.a9f63fc in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Develop greenfield context from a durable interview and initialize it through the native context writer.

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

# decompose

<!-- catalog-compatibility-notice:start -->
> Compatibility route. Prefer `$ca-init --greenfield` for new usage. This installed route remains
> functional under the command-route compatibility policy at [includes/command-compatibility.md](../../includes/command-compatibility.md);
> continue with the greenfield workflow below.
<!-- catalog-compatibility-notice:end -->

Develop the project specification before implementation. Keep actual user decisions,
planned architecture and observed repository facts distinct.

## 1. Inspect and resume

Read `.codearbiter/CONTEXT.md`. An initialized project returns to normal operation;
context changes use `$ca-context-check`. Meaningful implementation source routes
to `$ca-create-context`. If the scaffold is absent, run `$ca-init` first.

Keep the interview in `.codearbiter/plans/decomposition/`: `_session.md` records the
current phase, remaining questions and actual user confirmations; each completed
layer has its own file. Read this state and resume the first unfinished step. Do not
repeat settled questions or require another approval of unchanged accepted work.
An explicit restart preserves earlier interview and decision history.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/decompose@sha256:8d9d03719c8e1873

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.a9f63fc, 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.
