Onboarding meta-skill — explains the 7-step workflow, all 24 skills, and the decision tree for "which skill next?". Read this first when starting with 8-habit-ai-dev. Maps to H5 (Seek First to Understand) + H8 (Empower next person).

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

# Using 8-Habit AI Dev (คู่มือเริ่มต้น)

**Habit**: H5 (Seek First to Understand — read before acting) + H8 (Find Your Voice — empower the next person)

**Purpose**: First skill to invoke when you're new to 8-habit-ai-dev, or when you're unsure which skill fits your current task. Explains the 7-step workflow, all 24 skills, and provides a decision tree for "which skill next?". When invoked with an argument (a free-text intent like `/using-8-habits "I need to verify what we built last week"`), switches to ranked-recommendation mode — see [Smart-routing mode](#smart-routing-mode-when-invoked-with-argument) below.

## When to Use This Skill

- First time using the plugin — start here
- Unsure which skill to invoke for your current task
- Onboarding a new team member or AI agent to the plugin
- Wanting a refresher on the 7-step workflow
- Deciding whether to skip a step (and needing the honest skip rules)

## When to Skip

- You already know exactly which skill you need → invoke it directly
- You're in the middle of an established workflow (e.g. already did `/requirements`, going to `/design`) — the skill itself will tell you what comes next via the `next-skill` frontmatter field

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pitimon/8-habit-ai-dev/using-8-habits@sha256:ae3cce519f777c87

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.5d5e0e3, 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.
