Use when the user says just "capstone" with nothing else, or asks to start or continue the capstone pipeline - runs the greenfield chain one stage at a time, detecting completed stages and resuming at the first incomplete one. A stage word as the argument (mockup, logic, uiux, architecture, standards, stack, build) enters that one stage directly; "start stack refresh" re-vets recorded picks. The session review is not here - that is "review retro". Always asks subagents or inline before each…

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

# Capstone: start

Pipeline: `mockup -> logic -> uiux -> architecture -> standards -> stack -> build`.

From this skill's base directory, read `../core/references/core.md`
(this command routes rather than writes, so `core-authoring.md` is not
needed), then execute
`../core/references/protocols/start.md`
exactly.

With no argument, run the pipeline. With a stage word as the argument,
route straight to that stage's protocol per start.md's Routing section;
the stage words are the only subcommands, and no stage is a command of
its own.

Always ask subagents or inline at the start of each run, including
resumes and a directly entered stage. Wait for the explicit choice and
carry it through the whole pipeline, including research, readback and
build.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gentbajko/capstone/start@sha256:e285272e65071b3c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.a21d940, 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.
