Use for prioritization, or when there are more tasks than capacity: "what should we do first?", "rank this backlog", "cut scope for the MVP", "RICE score these". Picks a method (RICE, ICE, MoSCoW, impact-effort), scores items and sets a cut line. Skip for choosing between two designs.

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

# Prioritization

Order a list of work by value and cost, and draw a cut line. Pick the lightest method that fits the situation; precision beyond the quality of your inputs is noise.

## When to use

- A backlog, roadmap, bug list, feature list or task list larger than capacity.
- "What first?", "what can we cut?", "MVP scope", "RICE / ICE / MoSCoW".
- A stakeholder disagreement about order that needs a transparent method.

Skip: choosing between two or three alternative designs or vendors on tradeoffs, or estimating a single number.

## Before you start

1. State in one block: **Goal** the ranking serves, **Capacity or deadline**, **Items** (count), and **Pass** (Pick method, Score, Rank, Cut line, Sanity check).
2. **Gather first.** Read the backlog, tickets, usage data, customer requests and past estimates. Never invent reach or effort numbers; mark guesses `[ESTIMATED]` and give a range. Ask up to 3 questions only for goals and capacity tools cannot answer.
3. **Light path.** Small ask: pick a method in one line, score in one table, name the top 3 and the cut line.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ysskrishna/ai-agent-skills/prioritization@sha256:e108ca1026ab1e7c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2026.10.5, 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.
