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

# Beta Program Management

A senior product leader's playbook for running betas that produce real signal. Closed and open betas, alpha programs, design partner programs, early access. Participant selection, structured feedback collection, beta-to-GA decision criteria, and the difference between soft-launch (no structure, no signal), kitchen-sink (everyone in, no actionable feedback), and structured beta (calibrated cohort, intentional feedback loops, clear graduation criteria).

Most betas underperform. Teams ship a beta because they think they should run a beta; participants are recruited loosely or open-flooded; feedback is collected ad-hoc through whatever channels exist; the decision to graduate to GA happens on calendar rather than on signal. The beta produced activity but not learning; the team launches with the same uncertainty they had before the beta.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rampstackco/claude-skills/beta-program-management@sha256:2d5442d571af2fd6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.e5bc675, 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.
