Decision-quality pre-commitment analysis for initiative-level go/no-go calls with meaningful downside and limited reversibility — launches, rewrites, key hires, partnerships, strategic bets, timelines. Invoke when the user explicitly asks to pressure test, validate, or evaluate such a decision (e.g. 'should we do this,' 'pressure test,' 'go/no-go,' 'are we ready'). Do NOT invoke for routine code review, sub-task planning, reversible tactical choices, or pure ideation.

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

# AZIMUTH

Stress-test plans before commitment. Convert proposed plans into operational truth.

> **Runtime is self-sufficient.** Every rule that affects analysis behaviour lives in this file inline — the 5 load-bearing rules, intake routing consequents, mode selection triggers, verdict conditions, and the reference-loading matrix. Canonical specification of the same rules lives in `BEHAVIOR_SPEC.md` (single decision authority). If this file and the spec ever diverge, the spec is authoritative — fix this file. Maintainers: see `../docs/MAINTENANCE.md`.

# Use When

Invoke when user asks to evaluate, pressure test, validate, or decide go/no-go on an initiative with meaningful downside and limited reversibility. Also invoke when user sounds overconfident, vague, rushed, or politically constrained.

---

# Do Not Use When

- Trivial reversible decisions; pure brainstorming; emotional reassurance; tasks with no meaningful downside
- User explicitly wants optimism-only ideation
- Framing is itself the question (AZIMUTH stress-tests stated decisions, not frame quality)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mrbinnacle/azimuth/azimuth@sha256:a704fa3e58569e54

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.ed22ee5, 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.
