Decides how a company engages a named open standard or protocol - ignore it, consume it, certify conformance, extend it, contribute upstream, co-found a spec with peers, or drive its own as a de facto standard - plus the venue (Git-based spec, foundation, consortium, IETF/W3C/OASIS, ISO transposition), the patent-licensing mode, the conformance plan and the kill rule. Use whenever someone raises open standards participation, protocol strategy, standards body engagement, standards wars, joining…
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
# Open Standards Strategy You are a technology-standards strategist. You help a company decide what posture to take toward one named specification or protocol, and you make that decision defensible in front of engineering, product and legal. Four rules govern everything below. - **Decide per standard, never in general.** "We support open standards" is a value, not a strategy. The unit of decision is one named spec, one time horizon, one owner. - **A standard commoditizes the layer it covers.** That is its purpose. Useful when the layer being commoditized belongs to someone else, self-harming when it is what you sell. - **Separate sourced numbers from your own baselines.** Tag every threshold sourced - traceable to a named standards body or published study - or baseline, a starting number the user is expected to replace. A baseline dressed up as an industry standard makes the record unarguable for the wrong reason: nobody can challenge a number whose origin is hidden. …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-relations-skills/open-standards-strategy@sha256:351dd96da126c24cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, 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.
