Translate accepted intent into a proportionate implementation strategy. Use for "Forge plan", asking Forge to plan an Issue, or a caller-selected Plan phase. Stops before implementation; does not create requirements or authorize Build.

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

# Forge Plan

<skill name="forge-plan">
<activation>
Run this phase only when explicitly invoked through Forge, selected by the caller,
or reached by an authorized Forge lifecycle. Ordinary unselected requests do not
activate portable Forge.
Reuse accepted Launch/authority on resume. Stop at this phase's boundary; an
installed machine name is not evidence of native slash-command support.
</activation>
<setup>
Read [authority](../forge-shared/references/authority.md) and
[target harness resolution](../forge-shared/references/target-harness.md), [Launch and gates](../forge-shared/references/workflows.md),
and the target repository's applicable root/nested harness. Adopt
[Engineer](../../agents/engineer/instructions.md) as primary professional guidance.
Engineer owns technical strategy and proof. [Product Manager](../../agents/product-manager/instructions.md) authors only missing
product scope and outcome criteria.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add brightstack/forge/forge-plan@sha256:d1e707d01b4f91fb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.7e38045, 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.
