Decompose implementation plans into discrete work units with enumerated DoD items, file scope declarations, dependency mapping, and human checkpoint flags.
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
- When decomposing a large feature into implementable chunks - When preparing for orchestrated execution ## Work Unit Structure Each work unit specifies: - **ID** - Unique identifier - **Title** - Human-readable description - **Definition of Done** - Enumerated checklist items - **File Scope** - Which files the unit may modify - **Dependencies** - Other work units this depends on - **Human Checkpoint** - Whether human approval is needed before execution - **Parallel Safe** - Whether it can execute alongside other units ## Human Checkpoint Triggers Mark human checkpoints for: - Schema or database changes - Security-sensitive code paths - New architectural patterns not seen in codebase - External API integrations - Breaking changes to public interfaces ## Agents Used - `agents/architect/` - Creates the decomposition - `agents/cto/` - Validates TDD readiness per unit ## Tool Use Invoke as part of: `methodologies/metaswarm/metaswarm-orchestrator` (Phase 4)

How to install
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/work-unit-decomposition@sha256:cb86766ca10cd4eaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260601.da7723a, 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.
