Gate execution of a structured runbook/handoff/plan prompt behind an AskUserQuestion when the user explicitly hints that newer state (issues filed, PRs merged, probes shipped) has landed since the prompt was authored. Use when: (1) the user invokes "execute docs/handoffs/session_NNN_*.md" or "run this plan" or "implement this ADR" AND adds an inline aside like "but please be aware of #A, #B, #C" / "watch out for PR #N" / "FYI #issue landed since this was written"; (2) before executing, a scan…
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
# Stale handoff prompt: user hints newer state landed since authoring ## Problem You're asked to execute a structured prompt (handoff, runbook, plan, ADR, implementation spec) that was authored at time `T0`. The user's invocation includes a casual aside — "but please be aware of #X, #Y, #Z" / "watch out for PR #N" / "FYI X landed". Between `T0` and execution, those artifacts were filed or merged and they materially change what the prompt should do. The default behavior is to execute the prompt verbatim and surface any divergence in a post-execution comment. That's wrong: the user is telling you the premise has changed and is asking you to re-evaluate scope **before** executing. Failure mode: you ship the prompt's original plan, the newer state's implications get documented retroactively, and the user has to file a follow-up PR (or worse — a fix-up PR after auto-deploy) to reconcile. ## Trigger conditions Activate this skill when **all** of these hold: 1. The user's instruction has two parts: (a) "execute / run / implement [structured prompt file or runbook]" AND (b) an aside flagging GitHub issues, PRs, commits, or …

How to install
mdr add wan-huiyan/agent-traffic-control/handoff-prompt-stale-user-hint-newer-state@sha256:05e2e8d9a9edf791The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
