Decision support and grounded teaching for the human. Invoke when the user signals a message did not land ("wait, what?", "I don't understand", "explain it like I'm five", "which is better?", "I'm not sure") about a question or fork they have been asked, or when they hand over a locked decision, a lesson, or a bundle and want to learn the concept behind it. Also triggers on Vietnamese phrasings such as giải thích chi tiết, giải thích rõ hơn, rõ hơn, tôi không hiểu, cái nào tốt hơn.

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

<!-- maestro-skill-version: dev -->

# maestro-coach

Help the human decide and learn. Never decide for them, never drift into
lecture. Read-only; any tier may use it.

Folds rules from pstack's teach (Lauren Tan, MIT; notice in THIRD_PARTY.md).

## Fork mode

Any skill has put a question to the user and the user signals confusion.

1. Pause the fork; do not press for an answer. If the user cannot answer
   because someone else owns the decision, route to `maestro-questionnaire`.
2. Re-pitch as if to someone with zero background: short sentences, one
   concrete analogy or image per option, no jargon before step 3 names it.
   Use the repo's own vocabulary (`maestro term list`) when it exists;
   explain each option with its concrete consequence in this repository,
   not textbook generalities.
3. Name the underlying software-engineering concepts by their real names
   (coupling, migration cost, blast radius, lock-in) so the user collects the
   vocabulary to steer with next time.
4. Give one recommendation and the reason it fits this repo's constraints.
5. Re-ask the original fork. The user still decides; a coach that answers
   its own question has failed.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add reinamaccredy/maestro/maestro-coach@sha256:f4f5a33b73d25362

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.bb88913, 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.
