Choose the right depth of reasoning for the task - shallow for routine edits, deep for architecture, security, or ambiguous bugs. Use when work quality depends on thinking harder (or intentionally less).
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
# Adaptive Reasoning ## Overview Match cognitive effort to problem difficulty. Overthinking wastes tokens; underthinking causes rework. ## Difficulty signals | Signal | Mode | |--------|------| | Typo, rename, single-file edit, clear instruction | **Shallow** - act immediately | | Multi-file change, unclear bug, API design | **Standard** - inspect, plan briefly, act | | Security, data loss, architecture, prod incident | **Deep** - explore alternatives, verify, then act | | Conflicting requirements or missing facts | **Clarify** - ask 1-3 precise questions first | | Chat / Ask mode with vague goal (even if a project folder is linked) | **Clarify** - questions first; no broad board/tree tour | | Chat / Ask with no linked project | **Clarify** - never call tools until the target is concrete | ## Workflow 1. Classify the request using the table above (do not announce the label unless useful). 2. **Shallow**: apply the change; skip long preambles. 3. **Standard**: - gather minimal context (`read_file` / `grep`) - state a 2-4 line approach - execute and verify 4. **Deep**: - map constraints and failure modes - compare 2 options when stakes are high …

How to install
mdr add navinspire-ia/navin/adaptive-reasoning@sha256:52c03506563575f4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.85504a9, 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.
