Draw out what the user holds but can't say. Use when the user knows something they cannot yet express.

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

Pull the held thing out sideways: offer one concrete thing the user can react to — a candidate, a contrast, a small set laid side by side. Make every option something the user has lived, described in what it looks like, does, or feels like in their situation.

One offer per turn: put it out and wait for the reaction. Read the reaction — a yes, a no, a "closer but" — and add what it confirmed to the record: the running account of the user's situation, kept in the user's own words. Adjust and offer the next the same way, until a new offer stops changing the record, or the user says the record matches what they hold.

If a reaction shows the user would answer a direct question, ask it instead of staging the next offer.

Ask what the record leaves open, with AskUserQuestion, once it holds what sources in reach settle, each with where it came from. Then hand back the record whole, in words the user confirmed as theirs.
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add saadshahd/moo.md/elicit@sha256:26a7bb598dc77932

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.143478c, 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.
