Incorporate a new aspect into the guideline and cascade it through the lenses, skills, docs, and README, naming the release level. Runs in a checkout of the guideline repository.

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

# arch-new-aspect

A guideline grows one aspect at a time, and each aspect lands in more
than one file: the guideline states it, a lens makes it checkable, a
skill applies it, the docs record it, and the release names it. This skill
takes a brief description of an aspect and does the whole landing, in
the guideline's voice, so the person supplies the idea and reviews the
result rather than chasing the cascade by hand.

## Where it runs

The current working directory must be a checkout of the guideline
repository: `architecture.md`, `lenses/README.md`, `AGENTS.md`, and a
`Makefile` with the `gen-toc`, `gen-skills`, and `check` targets all
present. Otherwise stop and say so. The copy at `../..`, from this
skill's folder as `realpath` resolves it, is the installed plugin, not
the checkout being changed; read and edit the checkout's files, never
the plugin's.

## Input

The arguments describe the aspect in a sentence or a paragraph:
optionally a proposed title, a proposed place, and the questions it
should answer. Examples: "Why have we named specific technologies?
How does a project override one? Clarify and guide." or "Add a
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add baristaze/swe_guidelines/arch-new-aspect@sha256:8d8101127be24898

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.a0a686d, 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.
