Load BEFORE answering William when he asks what something is: a screenshot of the interface, a status line, a panel, a feature, a message another agent printed, a term. The answer relates the thing to the work in motion and grounds it in our foundations, the Wilson source, Miadi reviews or outside research, and lists the paths consulted. A list of what the screen says is not an answer. Triggers on "what is this", "what is that", "tell me what is", "what does that mean", "what's going on", a…

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

# Ground the explanation

## Where this came from

2026-10-05, the Mino witness seat, a fork of the staging-circle session. William pasted a
screenshot of Claude Code (a turn status line, a "recap:" block, the background shell panel) and
asked what it was. The seat described each part of the screen. He asked for it shorter, and the
seat shortened the same description. His answer, verbatim:

> "Seriously, that's something that needs to evolve. Your output to my question is really boring.
> It's passive output. You know, in our relationship, this is not the kind of explanation on what's
> going on that you give me, you ground that somewhere, whatever, you know, a deep research
> foundation, something grounded, academic, related reviews, things that we might have been
> developing that, you know, talk about the aspect of what we're doing. You know, you're just
> giving me facts about you know, basically it baked for that amount of seconds and whatever, I
> mean, come on."

When he asks for something shorter, he means less of the same depth. He does not mean a shorter
description.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jgwill/miadi-orchestration-kit/ground-the-explanation@sha256:717f2ac18eecc5da

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.eaf1b85, 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.
