Choose an evidence-first path for a development task, from acceptance through execution, review and completion. Use when starting substantive work or deciding the next step; clear tiny edits can proceed directly.

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

# Using Done is a claim

Turn the user's outcome into a bounded change and a report supported by current
observations. Scale the process to the task. This entry skill works on its own;
the optional routes below add depth when those skills are actually available.

## Establish the task

1. Identify the requested outcome, exact repository or worktree, existing
   authorization and owned files. Read applicable project instructions.
2. Confirm supplied inputs exist. For a requested new file, confirm its parent
   and intended role. Inspect the current revision and uncommitted changes.
3. Before editing, name the acceptance command and observable result, plus
   relevant broader checks. A prose change may need a structure check and
   direct reading rather than new tests. State any untestable boundary.
4. If the outcome or acceptance cannot distinguish success from a plausible
   failure, clarify that boundary before dependent work. Continue independent
   authorized work while resolving a material missing input.

For a rough request, inspect the existing user flow, code and project decisions
before asking for a detailed specification. Propose the smallest useful outcome,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add grit-77/done-is-a-claim/using-done-is-a-claim@sha256:b6bce4431079b769

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.a0f0c71, 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.
