Resolve consequential choices and shared intent before implementation. Use only when explicitly invoked.

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

# Hope Align

Use only when the person invokes `$hope:align`, `/hope:align`, or the
host's equivalent skill command or picker. Continue follow-ups within that
invoked task without requiring another invocation. Ordinary requests and calls
from another skill do not activate this skill; continue authorized work through
the ordinary workflow. Reading a shared reference does not invoke its skill.

Discover and test a design with the person to understand its goal and
consequential decisions. Honor existing decisions, delegation, and implementation
authorization. Align owns its open choices even when an implementation skill
runs alongside it. Clear, authorized tasks and routine implementation choices
need no new alignment or approval process.

Read `../write/references/writing-standard.md` for user-facing language.

## Discover choices through their consequences

Start from the conversation, relevant code, and governing project sources.
Keep evidence, user decisions, AI proposals, assumptions, and uncertainty distinct.

Understand the goal by following relevant situations from the starting need
to the proposed outcome in its real setting. Investigate transitions that

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dkstm95/hope/align@sha256:cc7dd8f19f49076e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.ff3dfa2, 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.
