"Activate when: 'we keep debating whether to pivot or stay the course', 'I don't know what we should never change', 'is this signal or noise?', 'the market shifted — what do we hold onto?', 'we're paralyzed between adapting and staying true to who we are'.
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
# Change and Constants Framework ## Overview Every strategy contains elements that must change and elements that must not. The failure mode is misclassification: treating habits as principles, or principles as outdated conventions. The framework sorts on two axes: **变 (Must Change)** and **不变 (Must Stay Constant)** — they are complements, not opposites. **Skill composition:** AFTER [first-principles] to strip convention; WITH [second-order-thinking] to check if "constants" are only temporarily stable; BEFORE [okr-goal-setting] — goals = 变; core values = 不变. ## When to Use - Major environmental shift demands strategic response and the team is paralyzed on what to adapt vs. preserve - Organizational identity is unclear: cannot distinguish "this is who we are" from "this is what we've always done" - Leader/board asks: "What should we never compromise on?" or "Is this signal or noise?" - Retrospective after failure: distinguish bad implementation of a sound constant vs. faithful adherence to an outdated variable …

How to install
mdr add deciqai/knowledge-skills/change-and-constants@sha256:47d727c2a16e8590The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.cb4e537, 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.
