Carry large projects through verifiable tasks, parallel work, and durable progress. Use when asked for Cascade, work in loops, or sustained project execution. Skip small edits.

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

# Cascade

Keep one living plan in `.cascade/<project>.md` or the existing project plan:

- Outcome and final acceptance check.
- Context needed to resume: workspace, constraints, decisions, source links.
- Tasks: ID, deliverable, dependencies, exit check, status, evidence.
- Current owners, blockers, and next actions.

**Decompose.** Split by verifiable outcomes or subsystems; detail only near-term work. Expand large
tasks into children while retaining the parent's acceptance check. Convert chains into dependency
graphs by keeping actual prerequisites and removing ordering that serves no dependency.

**Execute.** Pick tasks whose prerequisites passed. Build, verify, update the plan, repeat while
authorized work remains. Use `todo`, `doing`, `done`, `blocked`. Failed checks remain unfinished;
change approach when attempts stop producing information. Respect session limits and continue
independent work when a task is blocked.

**Parallelize.** Use available subagents for independent ready tasks. Give each worker context,
owned files or worktree, deliverable, and exit check. Serialize overlapping edits. Workers return

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add parcha-ai/parcha-skills/cascade@sha256:277fcbf73c90e470

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.989295e, 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.
