Turn a high-leverage design decision into a validated spec through grounded dialogue. Use it when a leverage trigger fires (auth, irreversible effects, concurrency, contracts, destructive ops, a new slice, a cross-slice dependency, an invariant gap) or when the user asks for a spec or design. Typical phrases include "let's design X", "shape this into a spec", "what should the API for Z look like", and "/mold". A feature ask with zero fired triggers is a `/cook` mini-spec, not a mold; route it…

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

# /mold

Ceremony scales to the job. The Bounds pass picks one of three tiers from `references/tiers.md`: **Quick** writes a validated mini-spec, **Light** runs only the dialogue modes the open forks need, and **Full** runs the whole Flow below. Saving a spec needs no extraction approval. Cook still needs an explicit user request. `/cheese`'s tier-1 escalation enters mini-spec mode; see `## Agent-invoked mini-spec mode`.

## Flow

1. **Bounds pass** — open the `Goal / Decided / Asking / [AGENT-DECIDED]` ledger with the goal pinned as one sentence; only an explicit user fork changes it. Split it into `G-n` clauses (`references/handshake.md` § Goal coverage). Map every input's goals and **non-goals** as one `[AGENT-DECIDED]` line; ask the user only when the goal is genuinely unknown or a leverage trigger fires. Run the shape check, then announce the tier with its reason (`references/tiers.md`). Quick exits here to `## Agent-invoked mini-spec mode` without a write-approval turn. Upgrade the tier whenever the evidence changes; never downgrade silently.
2. **Route** — choose the secondary mode from `references/modes.md`, announce it, and correct false premises first.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese/mold@sha256:acb25ffbcdbb04dd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.a95c987, 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.
