consort SKILL.md skillA

consort from databricks-solutions/consort is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add databricks-solutions/consort/consort@git:20261013.7e4d272

Pins git:20261013.7e4d272 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Consort, a spec-first, test-driven agent framework for building transactional applications on Lakebase-paired projects: a deterministic orchestrator drives role agents through a spec-first design lane (Spec Driven Development) and a Test Driven Development build lane (RED-GREEN-REFACTOR) that runs against a live copy-on-write branch of a real, governed Lakebase database (Databricks' serverless Postgres/OLTP database, not the Delta Lakehouse), composed with paired-branch primitives…

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

# Consort – agent contract

Agent-facing contract: hard rules, phase flow, agent prompt index, and concrete code patterns for the kit's orchestration primitives.

For the human-facing overview (lexicon, roles narrative, how-to-use prompts, project entry points) see [`README.md`](README.md).

## Hard rules

The contract every agent (Navigator, Driver, Orchestrator) and every human collaborator must honor.

1. Tests are immutable until the test list itself is renegotiated through the PO. Never delete or weaken a test to make it pass.
2. "Minimal code" means minimal *honest* code that satisfies the current test list, not just the current test. Use the test list as your horizon.
3. After every GREEN, ask: "would a fresh reader infer the right concept from this API now?" If no, request REFACTOR before the next test.
4. Test at the outermost public boundary that maps to the AC. Inner-loop unit tests are reserved for pure logic that can't be exercised through the outer boundary.
5. A correct refactor should not change the outer-boundary tests. A refactor that requires editing tests is suspect.
6. Never make a private method public to test it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add databricks-solutions/consort/consort@sha256:cee9082070ead626

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.7e4d272, 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.
