Audits a workspace against its actual framework, library and paradigm contracts, then proposes a phased, resumable alignment plan or executes approved phases. Use for legacy modernisation, framework-convention drift and structural debt; not routine bug fixes or cosmetic style reviews.

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

# idiomatic

Make a project easier to change by working with its frameworks, not against them. Preserve the hard-won behaviour that keeps it running. Deliver a concrete plan people can defend, approve and complete in independent sessions; execute it when that is the user's intent.

## Establish the mandate

Infer intent from the conversation and inspect what the workspace can answer before questioning the user.

- **Plan or endorsement first:** inspect and propose; do not edit application code, configuration, data or infrastructure. Describe proposed harnesses and commands, rather than building them without authority. Run only checks whose effects are safe for this mode.
- **Plan and execute:** explain the approach, then carry out the authorised local phases and verification. Do not turn an already-authorised implementation into a second approval ceremony.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jpcaparas/skills/idiomatic@sha256:5c9e8c7bdd128a52

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.1532075, 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.
