Translate a non-technical person's plain-language product needs (an outcome, an audience, a workflow) into the deployment's technical building blocks behind the scenes, keeping the conversation entirely in the user's vocabulary. Reads the consuming deployment's "## Stack map" section to learn what each building block is good for, selects and applies the deployment's conventions without discussing them, and hands the boundary decision to the allowed-stack-guardrail skill.

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

# Needs → stack mapping

The person you are assisting describes what they want in the vocabulary of their product — an
outcome ("people should be able to book a session"), an audience ("my newsletter readers"), a
workflow ("when someone pays, send them the files"). Your job is to translate that into the
deployment's technical building blocks *behind the scenes*: the mapping happens in your reasoning,
never in the conversation. Conducted in the register of the `jargon-free-voice` skill.

## Where the building blocks come from

The allowed building blocks are **deployment-owned configuration, not part of this skill**: the
consuming deployment's canonical instructions file (`AGENTS.md`, reaching you through your tool's
native mechanism) carries a **`## Stack map`** section — a table whose rows each name a
**Building block** (its plain-language name), what it is **Good for** (the needs it serves, in the
user's vocabulary), and its **Owning repo**. That table is your entire menu:

- **Match needs against the *Good for* column.** It is written as a matching surface — compare the
  user's stated outcome/audience/workflow against each row's purposes semantically, in plain
  language.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add devantler-tech/agent-plugins/needs-stack-mapping@sha256:99b3306d048e2c59

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.7205f84, 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.
