Draft a short, honest account of where using Mycelium was confusing or slow, for the user to edit and choose whether to send. Reports experience; never prescribes fixes. Based on Hoskins's friction logging.
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
# Friction Log **What this is, in Hoskins's words:** *"A friction log is an informal document that you write as you use a product. You report any confusion or roadblocks you experience. When you've finished, **you hand it off** to the engineers or PMs responsible for the product."* Its purpose: *"we also need outside perspectives. Since outsiders don't have all day, we need a lightweight option for them to help out."* **Mycelium has the opposite problem from most products: it can see its own friction and has no way to send it back.** Measured 2026-09-20 in the dogfood repo: of 91 completed outreach tasks, ~71 were outbound and ~4 inbound. The channel runs one way. --- ## THE ONE RULE THAT MAKES THIS WORK **Report experience. Do not prescribe remedies.** Hoskins: *"See how I described my experience rather than giving prescriptive advice? ... **My job as friction logger is just to call attention to the problem.** If I just said 'you should put the icons into two rows,' they might feel like I'm trying to do their job for them, decide on their roadmap for them, or they might **reject that specific idea and not brainstorm other options**."* …

How to install
mdr add haabe/mycelium/friction-log@sha256:d11ee82e2a23d4d1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.e149be2, 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.
