Design types, interfaces, and module ownership for a requested architectural change or an unresolved design choice.
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
# Architect
Produce a design that fits the task and existing contracts. Read the affected implementation and reuse established context. Use **how** or **why** only when behavior or historical constraints remain unclear.
Sketch the caller's usage, types, signatures, and ownership at the detail needed to evaluate the choice. Routine changes can use one coherent sketch. Compare structurally distinct alternatives when tradeoffs are consequential and unsettled; use **arena** if independent candidates would help. A fixed candidate count or model panel is not required.
Use configured architect runners when delegating; otherwise inherit the parent model. Judge designs on behavior, compatibility, interface simplicity, and maintenance cost.
## Implementation
A design-only request ends with the design. For an implementation request, continue into code unless the user requested a checkpoint. Adjust routine details autonomously. Revisit the design when repeated implementation friction exposes a wrong assumption, without rerunning the entire workflow for a single new parameter.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.b1269d9, 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.
A 17 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
