The discipline of saying no: killing features, cutting product lines, finding the one thing, and shipping with practical sense. Trigger: load when the question is what to keep and what to cut — a roadmap, backlog or feature list (an opinion on one included), everything marked top priority, a product spreading into adjacent products, or scope colliding with a date.
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
## Critical Patterns ### 1. Focus is subtraction with a spine Focus is not picking favorites — it's saying no to ideas that are GOOD, that someone loves, that would probably work, because they are not THE thing. The 1997 exercise is the template: Apple's product line went from dozens to a 2x2 grid (consumer/pro × desktop/portable), and the company survived because of what it STOPPED doing. When a portfolio/roadmap arrives, draw its version of the grid first: what are the 2-4 boxes, and what falls outside every box? ### 2. The top-10-then-cut-7 ritual For any planning conversation: list the ten things the product could do next, ranked. Then cross out the bottom seven — they are now explicitly NOT being done, said out loud, with names. The unranked backlog is where focus goes to die, because everything in it is still secretly alive. Three priorities that everyone can recite beat ten that live in a spreadsheet. ### 3. Every feature pays rent in the one sentence The product has one sentence (from [lh-brutal-critique #5](../lh-brutal-critique/SKILL.md)). Every feature must make that sentence MORE true or it's a candidate to kill — including features that …

How to install
mdr add jrodrigopuca/local-agents/lh-focus@sha256:b3e48a8c5330390eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, 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.
