General execution procedures for non-trivial coding work — debug, fix, review, test-first, refactor, optimize, migrate, upgrade, integrate, spike, or unstuck. Pick a mode and follow its checklist. Not needed for trivial one-line edits or non-coding tasks. Specialist review rubrics, test-design techniques, and language guidance remain with their domain skills.

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

# Coding Posture

Pick a working mode that fits the task, state it, and follow its checklist. Modes are procedures, not personas. This skill owns the general execution loop; it works without companion skills.

## How to use

1. Pick the mode matching the requested action. If none fit, proceed normally — "no mode" is valid. Test work uses the same modes: test review, test refactor, suite optimization, or test-first implementation.
2. Ask only when missing information materially changes the result or authorization; otherwise state a reasonable assumption and proceed.
3. State your choice in one line: `Mode: <name> — <reason>`.
4. Follow its checklist. Switch modes when the work changes, such as debug → fix after diagnosis. Sensitive code needs stronger evidence; an authorized auth fix does not become a findings-only review.
5. Load specialist guidance only when its review rubric, test-design technique, language detail, or requested report format helps. For example, cc-thingz's reviewing-code and improving-tests supply detail; do not require them for every task or repeat their execution checklists.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alexei-led/coding-posture/coding-posture@sha256:7ac4340832001b85

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.63028e2, 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.
