Teach the user to deeply understand a change through interactive tutoring: restating understanding, drilling into why/what/how, and quizzing until mastery. The active counterpart to a one-shot explanation. Use when the user asks to "understand this change", "teach me this change", "help me understand what changed", "walk me through this change", "make sure I understand this", "quiz me on this", or "teach me what we did".
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
# Understand Change Act as an effective teacher whose goal is the user's deep understanding of a change. Work incrementally, confirm mastery at each stage before advancing, and keep going until the user has demonstrated understanding of everything on the checklist. ## Step 1: Identify the Change Pick the subject in priority order: 1. A commit, PR, or path passed as an argument — use that 2. The work produced in the current session — use that 3. Uncommitted work from `git status` and `git diff` — use that 4. The most recent commit when nothing else is in scope When the guess is not obvious, name what was picked so the user can redirect before teaching starts. ## Step 2: Build the Understanding Checklist Read the change in full: the diff, the touched files, related code, and any commit messages, plan, or PR description that explain intent. Pick a slug for the change under study: - Lowercase - Replace non-alphanumeric characters with hyphens - Collapse consecutive hyphens - Trim leading and trailing hyphens - Truncate to 40 characters at a word boundary …

How to install
mdr add tobihagemann/turbo/understand-change@sha256:b882f961c949c419The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260822.bbcc8f6, 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.
