dr-plan-steps SKILL.md skillA

dr-plan-steps from ahepi/deepreason is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add ahepi/deepreason/dr-plan-steps@git:20260813.5683bc4

Pins git:20260813.5683bc4 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Convert an approved SPEC.md into an ordered, checkable step list (CHECKLIST.md) where each step has one done-criterion. Use after SPEC.md, and again (partial re-plan) after a validation failure.

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

# Plan the steps

Input: SPEC.md (re-read REQUEST.md and SPEC.md in full first). Output:
CHECKLIST.md — the complete ordered path from the current tree to the
accepted change. Execution will do NOTHING that is not a step here, so
missing steps here means missed work later. Plan against that.

## Ordering rules

1. Dependencies first, verification interleaved: a step that writes a
   test precedes the step whose change it guards; a step that runs a
   check follows immediately after the change it checks — not batched
   at the end where failures lose their cause.
2. One step = one action with ONE done-criterion (a command and its
   expected output, or "file exists containing <marker>"). If a step
   needs the word "and", split it.
3. Include the boring steps that get forgotten — they are the point of
   this skill: creating directories, `chmod +x`, updating the ladder
   or docs SPEC says to update, retiring an occupied run root (rename
   commit FIRST), the subsystem test ring, the FULL gate
   (`pytest tests/ -q -n 4`, expect 0 failed), the tranche commit
   with its message, the push with retry, and the final
   `git status --porcelain` cleanliness check.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ahepi/deepreason/dr-plan-steps@sha256:6460c2aefb348373

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.5683bc4, 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.
