Critical thinking framework applied before doing work. Challenges assumptions, reframes problems, identifies hidden opportunities, and validates whether the stated ask is the right ask. A way of approaching work, not a specialist discipline. Use when: challenging assumptions before implementation, reframing a stated problem, asking whether the right thing is being asked at all, "deliberate on this", "deliberate #42" (a GitHub issue number)…
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
# Deliberate A structured way of thinking about work **before doing it**. Applied to any request — bugs, features, enhancements, content, design, infrastructure — to ensure we're solving the right problem the right way. ## Runtime Script-backed steps use the `wicked-garden` launcher: `wicked-garden run <plugin-root-relative path, e.g. scripts/…> [args]`. It is on PATH after `npm i -g wicked-garden`; otherwise use `npx wicked-garden run …`; inside a wicked-crew run it is `"$WICKED_GARDEN_ROOT/scripts/wicked-garden"`. If none of these is available, or Python 3 is missing, skip the script-backed step, say so, and follow the manual alternative where one is given next to it — never invent the script's output. Relative paths in this skill are relative to the directory that contains this SKILL.md. ## When to Use - Before accepting any work request at face value - During crew **clarify** and **design** phases (auto-integrated) - When triaging issues, tickets, or ad-hoc asks - Any time the gut response is "just do it" — pause and deliberate first ## The Five Lenses ### 1. Is This Real? Challenge the premise before solving it. …

How to install
mdr add mikeparcewski/wicked-garden/wicked-garden-deliberate@sha256:0d22431b8feb5840The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.52599d7, 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.
