"Activate when: user says 'I've been doing this for years but I'm not getting better'; someone suspects a skill plateau despite continued effort; designing a learning program for a high-performance outcome; an organization reports high training hours but low skill transfer.
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
# Deliberate Practice ## Overview Most people confuse repetition with learning — they accumulate years of experience and plateau. Once an activity becomes automatic, executing it no longer builds new neural architecture. Ericsson, Krampe & Tesch-Römer (1993) showed the predictive variable is not hours of doing but hours of *specifically deliberate practice* — targeted, uncomfortable, feedback-rich repetition designed to build mental representations. **Cross-skill composition:** Use [`feedback-loops`](../feedback-loops/SKILL.md) first (audit your error signal); then [`metacognition`](../metacognition/SKILL.md) (surface your current representation gap); use instead of [`deep-work`](../deep-work/SKILL.md) when acquiring skills, not producing output; use alongside [`cognitive-evolution-stages`](../cognitive-evolution-stages/SKILL.md) for stage-aware practice design. --- ## When to Use …

How to install
mdr add deciqai/knowledge-skills/deliberate-practice@sha256:0a956f82122dcb40The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.cb4e537, 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.
