Draft or critique an implementation plan in the conversation, with the fewest moving parts, before implementation. Use when asked to plan, review or tighten an approach without changing files or writing code; saving a plan file or implementing the work falls outside this read-only mode.

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

# Lean plan

A plan is cheap to change and code is not. This skill spends effort on the plan
so the build has less to do. It has two modes with one bar: **write** a plan
from a request, or **critique** a plan someone else wrote. Either way the output
is a plan or a review of one; change no files and write no code here.

The bar: every step produces an outcome someone can check, and no step survives
that the goal does not need.

## Pin the goal

Before drafting steps, write down four things:

- **Done means**: what is observably true when the work is finished.
- **Out of scope**: what a reader might expect but this work will not do.
- **Must not regress**: behavior, data, interfaces or performance that has to
  stay as it is.
- **The real constraint**: the one limit that shapes the plan, such as a
  deadline, a frozen interface, a migration window or a team boundary.

Read the code, docs and config that touch the goal before asking anything. Ask
only questions whose answer would change the plan's shape; a detail you can
choose sensibly, choose and record as an assumption.

Push back on an unclear request before planning around it. Name what is
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bompus/house-rules/hr-lean-plan@sha256:86843c16af6f5abd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.dfa3dc9, 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.
