Designs, documents, and fixes operational processes — mapping the current state, finding where work actually stalls, redesigning the flow, and building controls that hold. Use this when the same failure keeps recurring, when a handoff between teams is unreliable, when onboarding a repeated task, when work takes far longer than the work itself, or when deciding whether to automate, standardize, or eliminate a process.
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
# Process design ## Map what happens, not what is supposed to happen Follow a real instance end to end and record every step, handoff, wait, and rework loop. Talk to the people doing it, who will describe several steps that exist nowhere in the documentation and one or two that everyone has quietly stopped doing. Then measure two things: - **Touch time** — how long the work actually takes. - **Elapsed time** — how long it takes to get through. The gap between them is the process. In most broken processes, work is waiting more than ninety percent of the time, which means speeding up the work changes almost nothing. Attack the waits. ## Find the real constraint One step governs throughput. Improving anything else produces inventory in front of the constraint and no more output. Find it: the step with a queue in front of it. Common constraints that are not the obvious step: a single approver, a specialist everything routes through, a system that only one team can access, and a batch cycle that makes everything wait for the weekly run. ## Redesign In this order, because the order is the leverage: …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/process-design@sha256:e7e9e1d5d5127e25The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, 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.
