Produces a negotiation preparation map that separates both sides' positions from their underlying interests, anchors the accept-or-walk decision on a named, valued best alternative inside the mapped zone of possible agreement, and invents options for mutual gain across differently-valued issues before dividing value against objective criteria. Use when agreement is required from a party not under your control and more than one issue is in play (salary, vendor, partnership, resource, or…
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.

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-interest-based-negotiation@sha256:b4d445f82d2433bdThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
