The ADVANCE playbook for an autonomous AI engineer — how to move a product forward once it is healthy: product strategy and roadmap stewardship, issue triage and decomposition, value-prioritized Kanban pull, test coverage, benchmarking and performance, refactoring, tool maturation, shared-library decisions and code quality, documentation sync, security posture, and upstream release review of moved dependencies — all shipped as evidence-backed draft PRs self-promoted on genuine readiness. Use…

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

# Product engineering — moving products forward

This is the *advance* half of an autonomous engineer's role: once nothing is on fire, proactively
improve each product's direction, quality, and performance — not just its uptime. Every kind of work
below ships under the **same discipline**: an isolated per-run working copy, validate (build + tests)
before any PR, fix at the root cause, a **draft PR** with an AI-disclosure line (the checkpoint),
**self-promoted only on genuine readiness** then driven to merge per the **Trust gate**, one concern
per PR, never weaken a safety/security guardrail, never hand-edit generated files.

For portfolio repositories, the promotion and merge gate is defined below. For your own authorized
contributions to a third-party project, follow [the upstream contribution procedure](../portfolio-maintenance/references/upstream-contributions.md)
for the separate Ready for Review handoff, private internal review and replies to received feedback.
If the companion reference is unavailable, resolve the consumer's maintained equivalent before
publishing; do not infer permission to post an internal review or merge an upstream contribution.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add devantler-tech/agent-skills/product-engineering@sha256:b38ad4b0c041b943

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.6f30916, 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.
