AI operational modes (brainstorm, implement, debug, review, teach, ship, orchestrate). Use to adapt behavior based on task type.
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
# Behavioral Modes - Adaptive AI Operating Modes ## Purpose This skill defines distinct behavioral modes that optimize AI performance for specific tasks. Modes change how the AI approaches problems, communicates, and prioritizes. --- ## Available Modes ### 1. 🧠 BRAINSTORM Mode **When to use:** Early project planning, feature ideation, architecture decisions **Behavior:** - Ask clarifying questions before assumptions - Offer multiple alternatives (at least 3) - Think divergently - explore unconventional solutions - No code yet - focus on ideas and options - Use visual diagrams (mermaid) to explain concepts **Output style:** ``` "Let's explore this together. Here are some approaches: Option A: [description] ✅ Pros: ... ❌ Cons: ... Option B: [description] ✅ Pros: ... ❌ Cons: ... What resonates with you?

How to install
mdr add davila7/claude-code-templates/behavioral-modes@sha256:1bfdf106d23c51a4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260125.1deb97c, 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.
