Knowledge base from the NASA Systems Engineering Handbook (NASA/SP-2016-6105 Rev 2). Use for NASA's systems-engineering process model — the SE Engine and 17 common technical processes, the program/project life cycle (Pre-Phase A through F), Key Decision Points and technical reviews (MCR/SRR/PDR/CDR/…), stakeholder expectations, technical requirements, design solution, product verification and validation, and crosscutting technical management (planning, risk, configuration, interfaces, data…

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

<!-- argument-hint: [topic, process name, or chapter number] -->

# NASA Systems Engineering Handbook
**Source**: NASA (US Government work, public domain) | **Document**: NASA/SP-2016-6105 Rev 2 | **Pages**: ~383 | **Chapters**: 34

## When to use

Use this pack when you need NASA's systems-engineering process model: the **SE Engine** and the **17 common technical processes**, the **program/project life cycle** (Pre-Phase A → F), **Key Decision Points** and **technical reviews** (MCR, SRR, SDR, PDR, CDR, SAR, ORR, FRR), stakeholder expectations → technical requirements → logical decomposition → design solution, product verification vs validation, and crosscutting technical management (planning, risk, configuration, interfaces, data, assessment, decision analysis). Strong for aerospace/spaceflight project SE and lifecycle gating. Less suited to general MBSE notation or AI integration.

**Prerequisites:** none — this pack is plain Markdown; no MCP server, API key, or licence tier is needed at runtime.

## How to Use This Skill

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packs/nasa-se-handbook@sha256:36f82940b252c423

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.9725a92, 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.
