async-reasoning SKILL.md skillA
async-reasoning from langerrr/zforge is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add langerrr/zforge/async-reasoning@git:20260824.bc32f51Pins git:20260824.bc32f51 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

This skill should be used when implementing or designing code with async data flows — "state management design", "async data flow", "stale data", "cache invalidation", "optimistic update", "init order", "race condition", "write then read", "data not updating", "cache not refreshing", "UI shows old data after save", "value doesn't update", "empty data on first load". Also applicable when working with caching layers, event-driven systems, or any code where write and read paths have different…
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
# Async State Reasoning When analyzing any state-changing operation in an async system, enumerate ALL concurrent timelines — not just the write path. Sequential chain-of-thought naturally traces one execution path at a time and misses the concurrent read paths that may return stale data, the initialization paths that haven't completed yet, and the observer actions triggered by intermediate state. ## When to Apply Apply when any of these conditions exist: - A write operation is followed by a read on a different path (API, cache, RPC, database) - Multiple data sources initialize at different times - State is derived from async sources and must stay consistent - An observer (process, human, AI agent) can act on intermediate or stale state - Data crosses a persistence boundary (memory ↔ storage ↔ network) ## Core Analysis: Timeline Enumeration After any state-changing operation, enumerate ALL concurrent timelines — not just the write path: ``` WRITE: Operation X changes state S Timeline 1 (write path): X confirms → S is updated at source Timeline 2 (cache read path): Query Q is polling/refetching → may return stale S …

How to install
mdr add langerrr/zforge/async-reasoning@sha256:dd20fb7746fd27e0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.bc32f51, 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.
