Choose the smallest workflow that still buys back enough attention and safety for the task.
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.

# Ceremony Budget ## Purpose Spend ceremony only when it buys back attention or safety. Route a task to a workflow that replaces the default larger route; do not append a second process contract. ## When to use Use when the safe route is not already obvious. If the task or wrapper already supplies an execution-sized route, use it without re-deriving the route. ## Inputs - User request and any task-wrapper instructions - Scope boundary and expected blast radius - Verification target and failure risk - Ambiguity, irreversibility, and resume risk - Optional operator profile defaults ## Workflow 1. Check whether the task is bounded, reversible, and already explicit. 2. Identify the concrete implementation, reproduction, or inspection action and its proof target. 3.

Start the next action immediately once the boundary and proof target are clear. ### Replacement rule Ceremony budget selects a route that replaces the default larger workflow. Do not regenerate the full route after a wrapper has already made it explicit. It must not: …

How to install
mdr add tmusser/ai-engineering-skills/ceremony-budget@sha256:9d9463c249915d9bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.a4c4424, 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.
