forward-implementation-first SKILL.md skillA

forward-implementation-first from vuk97/forward-implementation-first is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add vuk97/forward-implementation-first/forward-implementation-first@git:20260831.2d4dd7e

Pins git:20260831.2d4dd7e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Keeps an agent building and validating real output instead of servicing its own bookkeeping. Use for multi-stage pipelines, capability roadmaps, long-running implementation loops, migrations, staged data or build runs, and any run where administrative hashes, locks, receipts, dashboards, certification markers, or progress metadata can block correct work. Use when an agent refuses to advance, rewinds finished stages, or reruns unchanged work because a marker is missing or stale.

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

# Forward implementation first

Build working capability and correct output before administrative bookkeeping.
Apply this contract both while building a system and while running it.

## Scope

This skill applies to:

- infrastructure and roadmap implementation;
- input intake and intermediate artifact production;
- transformation, derivation, and analysis stages;
- test construction, runtime verification, and measurement;
- publication of final output and closeout;
- manual invocation of any authorized pipeline stage.

It applies whether the action runs through a full orchestrator, a focused
command, or a manual stage invocation.

## Decision rule

Before each action, classify it as one of:

1. **Semantic implementation**: builds or connects a producer, consumer,
   adapter, runtime path, schema, fixture, or final output.
2. **Focused validation**: tests the changed dependency cone through behavior,
   schema, counts, samples, conservation, consistency, nontruncation, or
   measured resources.
3. **Administrative bookkeeping**: generates or repairs hashes, locks,
   receipts, dashboards, certification markers, progress metadata, or
   presence-only records.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vuk97/forward-implementation-first/forward-implementation-first@sha256:0cae4d3ec2e2c2c8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260831.2d4dd7e, 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.
