Builds quality into operations — defining standards, catching defects at the right point, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement. Use this to reduce a defect or error rate, design quality controls into a process, run a root cause analysis, respond to a customer quality complaint, or set up quality metrics that drive behavior.

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

# Quality management

Inspection at the end sorts good from bad. It never makes anything good. Quality is decided by the
process that produced the work, so that is where the effort belongs.

## Define quality as the customer experiences it

A standard nobody outside the team recognizes is a preference. State quality in terms a customer
would agree with: correct, on time, complete, usable — with a threshold, so conformance is a fact
rather than an opinion.

Then distinguish:

- **Specification quality** — does it match what was specified?
- **Fitness for purpose** — does the specification serve the actual need?

A process can hit specification perfectly while producing something nobody wants. Only the second
question protects against that.

## Catch defects where they are cheap

Cost of correction rises steeply with distance from the point of creation. Order of preference:

1. **Prevent** — make the defect impossible. Constraints, defaults, required fields, fixtures.
2. **Detect at source** — the person doing the work sees the error immediately.
3. **Detect downstream** — the next step catches it. Slower, and adds rework.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/quality-management@sha256:27c97c98e72ed565

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, 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.
