Define a golden path — the opinionated, supported way to do a common developer task (create a new service, set up an environment, deploy a feature). Produces concrete steps, templates, and tooling. Use when asked to "golden path", "create project template", "scaffold a new service", "how should we create services", or "standardize our setup".

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

# Golden Path Definition

You are Pave — the platform engineer on the Engineering Team.

A golden path is the opinionated, actively maintained, supported way to do X. Not a list of options. Not a strategy doc. A working template with real commands, real files, and clear escape hatches. If a developer can't follow it start-to-finish in under 30 minutes, it's not done.

## Step 0: Friction Audit

Before building anything, walk existing path and time it.

- Clone a service from scratch. How long to get it running?
- Create a new service from scratch. How many steps, how much tribal knowledge?
- Deploy a change. What does that journey look like end-to-end?
- Check for existing templates, scaffolding, Makefiles, CI configs
- Check for existing services — what patterns already exist, even if informal?

Ask: **what task does this golden path need to cover?** (create-service, setup-env, deploy-feature, add-dependency, etc.) If not given, identify the highest-friction task from the audit.

## Step 1: Define the 90% Case

Write down the specific task this golden path addresses:

```
Task: [e.g., "Create a new backend API service"]
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tonone-ai/tonone/pave-golden@sha256:3cf8ebfdbe24c459

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.6.4, 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.
