exploring-an-idea skillA

exploring-an-idea is agent-read markdown (skill) from patrickserrano/lacquer: Use at the very start of a new product idea — before a PRD, PCD, repo, or name exists, and any time someone says "I have an idea for", "should we build", "let's scope out", or asks for a PRD/PCD from scratch. Separates what is known from what is assumed, and forces the load-bearing assumptions to be measured before they become architecture. Works in Claude Desktop (research only) and Claude Code (research plus probes)..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add patrickserrano/lacquer/exploring-an-idea@git:20260804.5f4ec88
Exact content
mdr add patrickserrano/lacquer/exploring-an-idea@sha256:ce32d074e6d1a24b

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
