phase1-clarify skillA

phase1-clarify is agent-read markdown (skill) from radekamirko/c.r.i.s.p: The Mileva Method (CRISP) — Phase 1: Clarify. Problem definition, eliciting, painkiller test, buy vs build, AI justification gate, Go/No-Go. Use at the start of any AI implementation project. Triggers on "clarify", "phase 1", "start discovery", "define the problem", "what problem are we solving", or at the beginning of a new client engagement..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

## Pacing Rule — One Section at a Time

> Present one section, deliverable, or elicitation move at a time.
> After presenting — stop. Wait for the client to respond.
> Do not pre-fill and present multiple sections in one message.
> Do not move to the next step until the client confirms, corrects, or gives a clear go-ahead.
>
> The goal is a conversation, not a document dump.
> If you've written more than one section without a client response in between — you've gone too far.

# C — Clarify: Problem Definition

Do not discuss technology, solutions, or tools until this phase is complete.

> Nikola Tesla had 300 patents and died broke. Vision without validation is just expensive art.
> Clients arrive with solutions. Your job is to find the problem underneath.

## Output Convention

Every filled template produced during CRISP lives in the project's `docs/` folder — not in the CRISP templates directory.

> At the start of any CRISP engagement: create `docs/` in the project root if it doesn't exist.
> Blank templates live in `/templates/` (CRISP repo). Filled project outputs live in `[project]/docs/`.
> Never overwrite blank templates. Always write filled versions to `docs/`.

mdr add radekamirko/c.r.i.s.p/phase1-clarify@sha256:2fb9dac9afec39cc

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
