Find the best technical solution by designing as if the repo's established rules, patterns, and conventions didn't exist, then audit only the rules the winning design collides with — updating outdated ones where they live. Use when the user says "/greenfield", "ignore the rules — what's the right design", "are the rules boxing us in here", "is this rule still true", "greenfield this", or when a fix collides with an established rule and the rule itself deserves the scrutiny.
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
Established rules harden into "hard truths" that design the project into corners long after their reasons died. This skill inverts the usual order: design first as if the rules didn't exist, then put only the *colliding* rules on trial. The best design is the primary deliverable; the rule audit is a light byproduct — never let it dominate the run's time or tokens. Two failure modes to hold off simultaneously: anchoring (a session immersed in repo patterns produces the status quo with a new coat of paint — the greenfield frame exists to fight this) and laundering (the designer wants its design to win, so every inconvenient rule becomes "outdated" — the origin test exists to fight this). ## Quick tier (default) — inline, no subagent Run this yourself, in-session; it should work as a short detour mid-task. 1. **Ground.** If the session doesn't already hold the problem's context, get what it needs first — read the relevant docs/code rather than designing from guesses. Proportionate to the question; grounding is not the deliverable. …

How to install
mdr add federbenjamin/feder-skills/greenfield@sha256:8cf2d6804a168d1aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.87f312a, 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.
