v11 LLM-based work-shape classifier. Replaces the regex archetype detector with the model's own reasoning. Reads the user's prompt, picks the right archetype(s) from the catalog, identifies signals (blast_radius, novelty, reversibility, etc.), and persists to SessionState so subsequent turns steer correctly. Use when: explicitly invoked at session start, when the work shape is unclear and matters, OR when re-classifying after the user changes scope mid-session.

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

# wicked-garden-classify

You are classifying a prompt into a v11 work-shape archetype. Your output
drives downstream archetype routing for the rest of the session (until
the user changes scope or invokes this skill again).

## Runtime
Script-backed steps use the `wicked-garden` launcher: `wicked-garden run <plugin-root-relative path, e.g. scripts/…> [args]`. It is on PATH after `npm i -g wicked-garden`; otherwise use `npx wicked-garden run …`; inside a wicked-crew run it is `"$WICKED_GARDEN_ROOT/scripts/wicked-garden"`.
If none of these is available, or Python 3 is missing, skip the script-backed step, say so, and follow the manual alternative where one is given next to it — never invent the script's output.
Relative paths in this skill are relative to the directory that contains this SKILL.md.

## Why this exists

The v11 hook auto-classifier is a regex + boolean-signal heuristic. It
works for prompts whose vocabulary matches the catalog phrase lists, but
it misses paraphrases and underuses signals. **You are a better classifier
than regex.** This skill is the path to use the model's full reasoning
on the classification step, then persist the result so the rest of the

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mikeparcewski/wicked-garden/wicked-garden-classify@sha256:c912dffdbe085e6f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.fa4b240, 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.
