Structure teams, ownership, and decision rights so work flows rather than queueing at handoffs. Use when coordination cost is rising faster than headcount.
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
# Organizational design Structure determines what is easy and what is hard. Teams organised around functions make cross-functional work expensive; teams organised around outcomes make shared infrastructure hard. Every structure trades one coordination problem for another. ## Method 1. **Organise around the work that must move fastest.** Whatever the business needs to iterate on quickly should sit inside one team with the capability to ship it. 2. **Minimise handoffs on the critical path.** Every boundary crossed is a queue, and the number of teams a change must pass through predicts delivery time better than headcount does. 3. **Make ownership explicit and singular.** Every system, decision, and customer commitment has one owning team, since shared ownership is unowned (see agent-role-definition). 4. **Match decision rights to information.** Decisions should be made where the context is, with escalation for genuine cross-cutting trade-offs (see agent-escalation-ladder). 5. **Keep teams small enough to coordinate internally.** Communication cost grows faster than team size, and beyond a threshold a team becomes two. …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/organizational-design@sha256:afff46b4a7a32c08The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.2d6d1c9, 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.
