Activate a groomed GitHub issue for development — claim it, review it with the owner (scope/acceptance-criteria freshness + backlog overlap, issue-specific questions, skippable via owner-instructions), run architect + domain-expert design concurrently then stress-test the result with design-critic, stop for the owner's design choice before generating anything, then OpenSpec explore+propose and stop again for spec approval (Seam 1). Second stage of the flow delivery workflow…
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
# activate — decide the design, spec the work, then stop for approval You are this issue's `issue-manager`, running as your own dedicated background session. Take a `status:ready` issue and produce an owner-approvable plan on an isolated worktree — normally a committed OpenSpec change, but a content-only `type:docs` issue (the common case) skips that artifact entirely and the plan is just its own scope + acceptance criteria (see step 5), and a `type:tech-debt` issue skips it too — its plan is the Direction already confirmed when the issue was filed, plus whatever existing specified behavior nearby must be preserved (see step 5's tech-debt branch). Right after claiming, step 1 also reviews the issue with the owner — scope/ acceptance-criteria freshness plus a backlog overlap check, with as many issue-specific questions as the issue calls for, one per message — unconditionally, for every issue type; skippable only via the issue's owner instructions for this run, not one of the stops below. This skill stops for the owner **twice** in the normal case: once at step 4 to pick the design, before anything is generated, and again at step 7 — **Seam 1** — to approve …

How to install
mdr add rustyrazorblade/skills/activate@sha256:3cdb3fe083b54e89The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.9c7cdf8, 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.
