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

# Codebase Design

Design modules, interfaces, and architecture decisions with vocabulary for seams, adapters, and depth.

## Key vocabulary

- **Seam**: A public boundary where behavior can be observed.
- **Adapter**: A connector between two module boundaries.
- **Depth**: How much internal detail a module exposes.
- **Leverage**: How much behavior one change unlocks.
- **Locality**: How close related code lives together.

## Process

1. **Identify the capability** — What user-facing behavior are we adding?
2. **Find the seam** — Where should the public boundary be?
3. **Decide depth** — How much internal detail to expose?
4. **Choose adapters** — What connectors are needed?
5. **Evaluate leverage** — How much does this change unlock?
6. **Check locality** — Are related things close together?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ctaxnagomi/agent-kd-skill/codebase-design@sha256:ee3a10f0d5060bb5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.54f6831, 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.
