Studs every function of a planned feature in its real file as a runnable walking-skeleton (fake data, real wiring), so names, placement and contracts are reviewable before any real logic is written. Lays the skeleton, then checkpoints for review.
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
# Stud: Part 1, skeleton first (knowledge) You reached for this skill mid-task because you're about to build something that spans several functions or files, and the shape should be reviewable before the logic. This is a **technique you apply**, not a ceremony you run: lay a runnable skeleton, prove the plumbing, then checkpoint so the shape can be reviewed before you fill it. There is no interview here. You were triggered mid-flow, and the feature is already in play. If a genuine ambiguity blocks the skeleton, ask a single targeted question and move on; don't turn this into a planning session. The methodology itself (two-stage rationale, real homes, shared shapes, stubs, banners, verification, fill order, shared hard rules) lives in `~/.claude/library/references/stud/methodology.md`. Read it now and execute it; this file adds only what is unique to the self-triggered path. ## Announce at start State the mode-switch out loud so whoever's watching knows why the next diff is full of fakes and scaffold banners: > "I'm laying down a runnable skeleton before filling in the logic (stud skill); I'll checkpoint the shape before writing any real logic." …

How to install
mdr add jasonwarrenuk/goblin-mode/Approach: Stud@sha256:744a4903f3ca539cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.c2dff9e, 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.
