Use before work that needs several lines of thinking whose order, independence, combination, stopping point or destination is not obvious; scale or budget alone is no reason. The user can then say how the lines order, combine, stop and where results go, what they entrusted and kept, and own the method.

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

# Hyphegesis Protocol

Conduct how a session's epistemic work will be carried out — the lines of work, their order, independence, combination, stopping point, and where their results go — when that method is underdetermined while the goal is clear. The morphism is **design THEN hand off**: Hyphegesis drafts the whole method as one map, the person recognizes or corrects it and keeps the coordinates only they can fill, and the method is handed off with what it carries; then Hyphegesis stops, and the substrate executes. Type: `(MethodUnderdetermined, Hybrid, CONDUCT, WorkProspect) → ConductedMethod`.

## Definition

**Hyphegesis** (ὑφήγησις: a leading-the-way, guiding from just ahead): A dialogical act of conducting a session's epistemic work when the goal is clear but how to run it is not. The protocol's lexical verb is `/conduct`. Once it has run, the person can say: this work proceeds this way — these lines run in this order or side by side, they combine like this, they stop here, and their results go there; I recognize what I entrusted and what I kept, and I took this method as mine. The whole map and its execution start as your judgment — which lines of work, how they relate…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jongwony/epistemic-protocols/conduct@sha256:645cc3940b0e0b08

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.570c41d, 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.
