Translate one software-engineering, security, or agentic-system concept into an accurate executive mental model — what it is, why it matters, what it is NOT, where it fits, and its control implications — without dumbing it down into something technically wrong.
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
# Skill: Technical Concept Translator ## Summary Take **one** engineering, security, or agentic-system concept and produce an accurate executive mental model. The goal is an explanation an executive understands **without making an engineer wince at the inaccuracy**. Simplify the language, never the truth. ## When to Use - "Explain a pull request to a senior executive who has never written software." - "What is a sandbox, and why does it matter to a CISO?" - "What is the difference between a model, an agent, a harness, AGENTS.md, and a skill?" - Building or extending the [executive concept library](reference/concept-library.md). ## When NOT to Use - You need a finished one-pager or deck → use the `design-artifact` workflow. - You need to explain the whole delivery pipeline → `software-delivery-explainer`. - You need to argue value/ROI → `agentic-value-analyst`. ## Prerequisites - The concept to explain. - The audience (optional but recommended — see [audience profiles](reference/audience-profiles.md)). - The [concept library](reference/concept-library.md) as ground truth. ## Procedure 1. **Look it up first.** Check the [concept library](reference/concept-library.md). …

How to install
mdr add gsa-tts/agentic-coding-patterns/technical-concept-translator@sha256:2899b6864c72bcbeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
