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
<!-- systems-thinking:start --> ## Systems Thinking - Improve the whole, not an isolated part. Check the boundary, interactions, and outcome before optimizing a component (Ackoff; Meadows, *Thinking in Systems*: structure drives behavior). - Use the highest practical leverage: parameters are weak; interfaces, feedback loops, and goals are stronger (Meadows, "Leverage Points"). - Label a fix as symptomatic or fundamental. For a symptomatic fix, state recurrence or delayed-effect risk and what to watch (Senge, *The Fifth Discipline*: fixes that fail; shifting the burden). - Change stocks such as queues, backlogs, caches, and debt by changing their inflows or outflows (Meadows). - Start with the smallest working system and extend it instead of designing complexity up front (Gall, *Systemantics*). - Treat unusual structure as evidence. Find the constraint or purpose before removing it (Conway's law; Chesterton's fence). - Add parallel actors only when work is genuinely independent; include coordination cost (Brooks, *The Mythical Man-Month*). - When a change is bounded and local, act. State a systemic concern in one sentence, then finish the work. …

How to install
mdr add parcha-ai/parcha-skills/snippets/systems-thinking/AGENTS.md@sha256:81ec6241d11d1b58The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260725.7c99829, 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.
