nemawashi SKILL.md skillA

nemawashi from kuya-egg/monozukuri is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add kuya-egg/monozukuri/nemawashi@git:20260909.6197cfc

Pins git:20260909.6197cfc in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Clarify software goals, constraints, stakeholders, and risks before consequential design or implementation work. Use for greenfield ideas, ambiguous requirements, architecture decisions, or changes where misunderstanding would be costly.

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

# Nemawashi

Nemawashi is the practice of preparing the ground before a consequential
change. In software, it means building shared understanding before building
the system. This is a Japanese-inspired engineering metaphor, not a claim
about how every team works.

## Use this skill when

- the request is ambiguous or has competing interpretations;
- a new project is starting from scratch;
- architecture, data shape, public API, migration, or operational behavior
  could be difficult to reverse;
- multiple people, systems, or teams depend on the outcome; or
- implementation would otherwise require guessing.

Do not use a long interview for a clear, low-risk edit. Ask only questions
whose answers can change the work.

## Outcome

Produce a concise engineering brief containing:

- the problem and why it matters;
- users, systems, or stakeholders affected;
- desired behavior and explicit non-goals;
- constraints and success criteria;
- facts, decisions, assumptions, and open risks separated clearly;
- the smallest useful next step; and
- how the result will be verified.

## Workflow

### 1. Establish the frontier

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kuya-egg/monozukuri/nemawashi@sha256:f02300fd564545db

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.6197cfc, 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.
