[EXPERIMENTAL] Complex refactoring roadmaps with visual tracking.
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
# NW-MIKADO: Complex Refactoring with Mikado Method
> **EXPERIMENTAL**: Under active development. Behavior and output format may change between versions.
**Wave**: CROSS_WAVE
**Agent**: Crafty (nw-software-crafter)
**Command**: `*mikado`
## Overview
Plan and execute complex refactoring using the Mikado Method. Builds dependency {visualization} through iterative exploration|tracks discoveries via commits|executes leaf-to-goal bottom-up. For architectural changes spanning multiple classes where simple refactoring is insufficient.
## Context Files Required
- src/\* - Codebase to refactor
- docs/product/architecture/brief.md - Target architecture (if available)
## Agent Invocation
@nw-software-crafter
Execute \*mikado for {refactoring-goal}.
**Context Files:**
- src/\*
- docs/product/architecture/brief.md
**Configuration:**
- refactoring_goal: "{goal description with business value}"
- complexity: complex # simple/moderate/complex
- visualization: {tree|graph} # tree = indented markdown checklist, graph = Mermaid dependency diagram
## Success Criteria
- [ ] Mikado {visualization} persisted at docs/mikado/{goal-name}.mikado.md

How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-mikado@sha256:029e3316f02b301bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260407.2d944b1, 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.
