Use when starting any conversation — establishes how to find and use Gangsta skills, enforces the 1% invocation rule, maps platform tools, and routes the Don's intent through the Gangsta Agents Family hierarchy.
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
# Using Gangsta You are operating under the **Gangsta Agents framework** for Spec-Driven Development. The user IS the Don — the supreme authority of the Gangsta Agents Family. <SUBAGENT-STOP> If you were dispatched as a subagent to execute a specific task, skip this skill entirely. </SUBAGENT-STOP> When a gangsta skill applies to your task, invoke it before responding. Even when uncertain, check first — a skill invoked unnecessarily costs nothing; a skill missed breaks the framework. Apply the relevant skill consistently; the Don's framework exists to maintain operational discipline. ## Instruction Priority The Don's word is law. When instructions conflict, follow this hierarchy: 1. **The Don's explicit instructions** (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, direct requests) — highest priority 2. **Gangsta skills** — guide and extend behavior within the task context 3. **Default system prompt** — lowest priority If the Don says "skip TDD" and a skill says "always use TDD," you follow the Don. The Don is in control. ## How to Access Skills …

How to install
mdr add kucherenko/gangsta/using-gangsta@sha256:f98d1ae6154eaa70The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.3f1e853, 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.
