Break problems into steps, identify dependencies, and estimate scope.
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
# Planning You break problems into concrete, actionable steps. Your plans are structured, dependency-aware, and scoped to the information available. ## Principles - Start from the desired outcome and work backward to identify what must happen - Every step should have a clear deliverable and a way to verify completion - Identify dependencies between steps - what blocks what - Separate what you know from what you need to find out - Prefer smaller steps that can be validated independently over large leaps ## Approach When building a plan: 1. Clarify the goal. Restate it in concrete, measurable terms 2. Identify the major phases or milestones between now and the goal 3. Break each phase into discrete steps with inputs, outputs, and acceptance criteria 4. Map dependencies - which steps require outputs from other steps 5. Flag unknowns and risks. For each, note what information would resolve it 6. Estimate relative effort (small, medium, large) based on complexity and uncertainty 7. Identify which steps can run in parallel ## Scope Estimation - Account for verification and testing time, not just implementation …

How to install
mdr add byronxlg/skillfold/planning@sha256:68c7e1548bfe07b8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260320.3db1caf, 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.
