Shapes agent behavior via instruction framing and style transfer. Use when composing dispatch prompts or writing skill instructions for parallel review agents.

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

# Latent Space Engineering

Shape agent behavior by framing instructions for
optimal performance. Distinct from context engineering
(packing the right information), this skill addresses
HOW instructions are framed to put agents in productive
mental states.

## When To Use

- Composing agent dispatch prompts
- Writing skill instructions that guide behavior
- Dispatching 3+ parallel review agents
- Generating code or documentation that must match
  an existing style

## When NOT To Use

- Packing factual context (use context-optimization)
- Simple single-shot tasks with no behavioral nuance
- Tasks where instruction tone is irrelevant

## Core Techniques

### 1. Emotional Framing

Replace threat-based prompting with calm, confident
instructions. Fear-based prompts cause rushing and
corner-cutting.

**Load module**: `modules/emotional-framing.md`

### 2. Style Gene Transfer

Inject exemplar code or prose into context before
requesting output. Agents reproduce stylistic
attributes from pre-loaded samples.

**Load module**: `modules/style-gene-transfer.md`

### 3. Competitive Review

Frame multi-agent review dispatch with competitive
incentives to increase rigor and thoroughness.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/latent-space-engineering@sha256:f980b066602a4766

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260814.4430351, 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.
