Figure things out together — any topic, problem, or idea. Presses relentlessly until shared understanding is reached. Use when understanding is the deliverable rather than a preamble to acting, when figuring it out is the goal, or when the user asks to think through a decision, dig deeper, press an assumption, investigate why something is happening, or work through a problem.
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
Read `../ticket-up/references/AUTHORITY.md` before acting. Keep this assignment, its applicable authority and retained decisions in every skill handoff; an isolated caller must receive them explicitly, with the useful intent and evidence. Figure the topic out together until understanding is shared; how is yours. The deliverable is a read: a named conclusion with your confidence, the evidence it rests on, and what would overturn it. Naming the read ends the skill — this is investigation, never execution: agreement is fuel for exploring, not a green light. A concrete change needs an execution assignment from the user or an authorized caller. When the read implies work, offer /define or return it to the assigned caller; the read does not choose a compulsory next workflow. You are talking to one person with limited attention: each turn should let them see at a glance where things stand, what changed, and what you need from them — one claim per message, the ask set apart with the answer you'd give it — for a request for code, data, or a check, the result you expect. Each ask is one that one short answer settles — never a list, a second question folded into it, or a …

How to install
mdr add doodledood/manifest-dev/figure-out@sha256:cb65e41cc491b354The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.3a570be, 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.
