You MUST use this when a request needs design decisions before code - new features, product or UX behavior, architecture changes, unclear success criteria, or two materially different approaches. Explicitly specified mechanical refactors, localized fixes with known expected behavior, and single-outcome config changes go straight to implementation.

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

# Scope Triage Before Design

Turn a request into either an implementation contract or a fully formed design. Classification comes
first, always: one turn that states a hypothesis, records assumptions, and picks a route. Only Route C
runs the full design cycle; A and B exist so an already-specified change is not taxed with a design.

## Step 0 - Scope Check

Do this before any other action, in a single turn, for every request that activates this skill.

1. **Hypothesis with confidence.** One sentence naming what the user wants to end up with, plus an
   honest 0-100% confidence. Below 70%, add one line stating what is missing.
2. **Assumption ledger.** List the assumptions the answer rests on; mark each `verified` (confirmed in
   code or docs this session), `assumed`, or `contradicted` (checked and found false). Retrieve
   repository facts yourself: one broad fan-out search aimed at the unverified ledger rows first, then
   targeted reads of the contract files the design depends on; ask only user decisions. Any
   `contradicted` entry means Route C.
3. **Classify** against the route conditions below.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sentimony/skills/scope-triage@sha256:df900beac3ac3119

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.0.15, 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.
