Use when an operator wants to learn or be reminded of the tokenomics method: spending model capability like a scarce budget through routing by class of work, spec-based handoffs, and a living playbook. Teaches the thesis, the four layers, the four switchpoints and their boundary nudges, the three routing questions with scoring, veto and re-scoring, and the tier-scarcity rule. Pure knowledge; takes no actions.

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

# The tokenomics method

Read `reference/portable-method.md` (relative to the plugin root) and teach
it faithfully: the thesis, the four layers (routing, session protocol,
living playbook, tiered orchestration), the four switchpoints, the three
routing questions, the negative list, and the tier-scarcity rule.

## Routing: classes of work, three questions

A lane is a **class of work**, not a model tier. Four classes, each with a
three-word card (title · what the work asks for · relation to precedent):
1 pathfinder · frontier · uncharted; 2 navigator · judgment · charted;
3 builder · build · specified; 4 keeper · routine · automatic. Labels are
`lane:pathfinder`, `lane:navigator`, `lane:builder`, `lane:keeper`.
"Builder" is the class only; the person using the method is the operator.

Teach the three questions verbatim, asked of the work before a class is
assigned:

- **Q1 (new ground):** Is this new ground: no precedent, pattern, or spec
  in the project to follow, or does it cross domains? Precedent is in the
  project, not in the person: an operator new to a domain does not make
  everything new ground.
- **Q2 (consequence):** If it is slightly wrong, is that expensive: costly

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add slopstopper/tokenomics/tokenomics-method@sha256:2da66c9031f03cbb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.7d8d569, 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.
