timebox SKILL.md skillA

timebox from transcendr/slopware-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add transcendr/slopware-skills/timebox@git:20260816.16b23e9

Pins git:20260816.16b23e9 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

License
a license file GitHub does not identify

Run an authorized task inside an Available Work Time (AWT) window with a shorter Closeout Grace Period (CGP), fixed deadlines, forecast checks, proportional convergence points, and a hard stop. Use when the user explicitly requests timeboxing, supplies an AWT/CGP pair, says AWT or CGP, or an applicable project policy requires the protocol. Do not invent durations or activate timeboxing merely because a task may take time.

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

# Timebox: AWT/CGP Execution

Timeboxing is an outer time and convergence envelope around authorized work. It
does not add scope or replace the task's acceptance criteria.

AWT is the primary Available Work Time. Plan substantive work, verification,
organization, and delivery inside it. CGP is a shorter Closeout Grace Period
for an already-converged deliverable, an unexpectedly delayed final check,
narrow closeout organization, or communicating the result. CGP is never a
second work window.

## Activate only with authority

Use this protocol only when one of these conditions supplies authority:

- The requester explicitly asks for timeboxing.
- The requester supplies an AWT/CGP pair or names AWT or CGP.
- An applicable project policy requires the protocol.

Never infer a timebox from task size, urgency, or an estimate. Never invent a
duration.

## Establish the fixed clock

Accept any unambiguous duration units. Validate the supplied pair before doing
timeboxed work:

- `AWT > 0`
- `0 <= CGP < AWT`
- CGP is materially shorter than AWT and sized for closeout, not ordinary work.

When the context already establishes AWT/CGP, interpret shorthand such as
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add transcendr/slopware-skills/timebox@sha256:f63d575fa9958f01

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260816.16b23e9, 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.
