Define a complex task with the user and write its blueprint, the split into pipelines and iterations, for workshop-forge to build from.

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

sttp and sttp-software-engineering apply. workshop-craft is the definition stage of a large task. It does the recon, grills the user, and writes the task's blueprint, under `.blueprints/<slug>/` in a git repository: the scope, the knowledge, the blockers, the split into pipelines and categories, and planned iterations. workshop-forge then builds from it, one reviewed iteration at a time.

workshop-craft is not a full spec and not a full plan. workshop-forge always follows it, so the user stays in the loop and the plan emerges while workshop-forge runs. The blueprint holds what workshop-forge needs to start: no user stories, no full list of iterations up front, no interface contracts beyond the one handover line of a release point.

workshop-craft writes only markdown files, in the blueprint's folder. It writes no code and touches nothing in git: no branch, no worktree, no ignore rule. Git setup after workshop-craft, and putting `.blueprints` under git, are the user's decisions. A project's glossary and ADRs, when it has them, change only at the end of a pipeline, through workshop-glossary's merge.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add frolad/tars/workshop-craft@sha256:1d6f2ba8075b4bdf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.96c9a51, 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.
