purpose-properties SKILL.md skillA

purpose-properties from haabe/mycelium is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add haabe/mycelium/purpose-properties@git:20261007.33e0656

Pins git:20261007.33e0656 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Derive the binding properties your why/how/what impose on everything below them, so no solution can silently contradict your own product definition. Retrofit entry point for projects that started before v0.120.0; also the re-derive path when why/how/what change and every stance below them goes stale.

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

# Purpose Properties Skill

Retrofit and re-derive entry point for `purpose.yml#purpose_properties`. **For new projects this runs
inside `/mycelium:start` Step 3b.** Use this skill when:

- The project existed before **v0.120.0** and has no `purpose_properties` (the retrofit case — every
  project created before that release, since `/mycelium:start` Step 4 exits for already-initialized
  projects and never reaches the extraction).
- `why`, `how` or `what` changed, so `derived_from_hash` no longer matches and **every stance below
  it is superseded** (the drift case — this is the one that matters most and the easiest to skip).
- A property list exists but the user wants to revisit which properties are `binding`.

Full contract: https://github.com/haabe/mycelium/blob/main/docs/purpose-stance.md (it lives in the repository, not in the installed plugin).

## Step 1: Read the current state and say which case this is

Read `purpose.yml`. Then say plainly which of these you are in, because the three have different
consequences and the user should not have to infer it:

- **No `purpose_properties`** → retrofit. Nothing below has ever been checked against the purpose.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add haabe/mycelium/purpose-properties@sha256:be09c6ca74df4715

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.33e0656, 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.
