Models problems and trade-offs without writing code or specifications. Use when a workflow needs silent reasoning, or the user asks for "/culture", "no writes", "rubber-duck this", or "these bugs feel connected". Not for specs (/mold), code (/cook), or bug diagnosis and fixes (/pasteurize).

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

# /culture

Two modes; the invocation context, not a user flag, selects the mode:

1. **Internal mode (default).** Other workflow skills — and `/cheese` itself — invoke `/culture` silently as a thinking pass: restate the question, list assumptions, name candidate options, run a quick shape check, pick the next action. The dialogue does not surface to the user; only the resulting decision (carrying its record ledger) and any code edits the calling skill makes do. The most common callers are:
   - `/cheese` step 1 — silent classification reasoning before announce.
   - `/cheese` **tier-2 escalation** (see `skills/cheese/SKILL.md` § Escalation) — fills missing context when the cook-fast-path clarity check fails on the raw input; the synthesis lands in the mini-spec's `## Provenance` section.
   - Other workflow skills' own pre-dispatch reasoning passes (mold, cook taste-test, etc.).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese/culture@sha256:305633b4eb7f0363

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.13c75a7, 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.
