Facilitates participatory discernment where the user contributes their own voice alongside agent perspectives, finding clarity together rather than receiving analysis. Use when the user has a stake or position in a decision and wants to participate — signaled by phrases like "I'm torn," "I've been thinking about this," or "I don't just want your opinion.".

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

# Deliberation: Gathered

## Overview

When the user has a stake in a decision - not just a question, but a perspective - invite them to participate in discernment alongside agent voices. Teach the practice as you do it together.

**Core principle:** "Let's find clarity together" is different from "let me give you clarity." The user is a participant, not a recipient.

## When to Invite

```dot
digraph when_gathered {
    "User message" [shape=box];
    "User has perspective/stake?" [shape=diamond];
    "Offer gathered" [shape=box];
    "User wants to participate?" [shape=diamond];
    "Use deliberation:gathered" [shape=box, style=filled];
    "Use discernment or clearness" [shape=box];

    "User message" -> "User has perspective/stake?";
    "User has perspective/stake?" -> "Offer gathered" [label="yes"];
    "User has perspective/stake?" -> "User wants to participate?" [label="no"];
    "Offer gathered" -> "User wants to participate?";
    "User wants to participate?" -> "Use deliberation:gathered" [label="yes"];
    "User wants to participate?" -> "Use discernment or clearness" [label="no"];
}
```

**Signals user has a stake:**
- "I've been thinking about this for weeks"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 2389-research/deliberation/deliberation:gathered@sha256:4fb757564b735ac4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.4af2152, 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.
