Agree the design of a large, open-ended build with the user before building it.
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
# Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs Help turn your human partner's idea into a fully formed design through natural collaborative dialogue. Start by understanding the current project context, then ask questions one at a time to refine the idea. Once you understand what is being built, present the design and get approval before any implementation skill is invoked. <HARD-GATE> Do NOT invoke any implementation skill, write any code, create any artifact, scaffold any project, or take any implementation action until you have presented a design and your human partner has approved it. This applies to EVERY task regardless of perceived simplicity. </HARD-GATE> ## Anti-Pattern: "This Is Too Simple To Need A Design" Every task goes through this process. A todo list, a single-function utility, a config change, a short report — all of them. "Simple" projects are where unexamined assumptions cause the most wasted work. The design can be short (a few sentences for truly simple work), but you MUST present it and get approval. ## Checklist You MUST create a `todo` for each of these items and complete them in order: 1. **Explore project context** — check files, docs, recent activity …

How to install
mdr add invergent-ai/surogates/brainstorming@sha256:dad51266ac3ad1efThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
