concept-design SKILL.md skillA

concept-design from ontology-of-everything/concept-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add ontology-of-everything/concept-skills/concept-design@v2.0.3

Pins v2.0.3 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use only when explicitly invoked. Design, specify, implement, review, refactor, or explain software with Daniel Jackson's concepts and synchronizations. Check CONCEPT.md/SYNCS.md structure and generate Mermaid relationship diagrams.

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

# Concept design

Define independent functionality with concepts and coordinate them with synchronization rules.
Specify the behavior users need before choosing an implementation.
When understanding or changing a behavior, locate its concepts and rules.

This skill adapts Meng and Jackson's WYSIWID method.

## Start from the need

- Name the beneficiary and the observable result they need.
- A concept provides independent behavior for one purpose.
- Its state and actions define allowed behavior.
- Its operational principle (OP) explains a representative history that fulfills the purpose.
- An OP does not specify every behavior or guarantee progress.
- Each concept instance owns its state.
- Concepts MUST NOT invoke one another or read one another's state.
- External identities carry no assumed fields from another concept.
- Put application coordination in external synchronization rules.
- Composition MAY restrict behavior but MUST preserve each concept's contract.

## Test the argument

- State the claim, its evidence, and the assumptions it needs.
- Find a scenario that would make the claim false.
- Compare alternatives, including no change.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ontology-of-everything/concept-skills/concept-design@sha256:6587ec4dff985be1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.3, 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.
