Run write-first collaboration with the right document types, response-time norms, and meetings reserved for what writing cannot do. Use when improving distributed-team communication or cutting meeting load.
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
# Async communication
Async trades immediacy for quality and inclusion: written thought
over interrupt-driven reaction, timezone fairness over hallway
advantage. It works only when the norms are explicit; "we use Slack"
is not a communication design.
## Method
1. **Sort by half-life, then choose the channel.** Decisions,
designs, and status that someone will need in a month go
in durable, searchable homes (docs, ADRs, PR
descriptions: see architecture-decision-records,
status-updates); chat is for coordination with a
half-life of hours: anything decided in a thread gets
promoted to the durable home *by the decider* (see
decision-journals). Chat-as-archive is where
organizational memory goes to die.
2. **Write to be actioned, not just read.** Lead with the
ask and the deadline ("Decision needed by Thu: A or B,
context below": see exec-briefing's
bottom-line-up-front); structure for skimming (headings,
bold leads: see technical-writing); name the specific
people who must respond: "thoughts, anyone?" addressed
to a channel is a request nobody owns (see
code-owners' explicitness).
3. **Set response-time norms per channel, then respect

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/async-communication@sha256:af3d79001486bba5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260720.adc529a, 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.
