Trigger when user asks to "prepare next steps", "prep next steps", or signals readiness for autonomous build ("before we build", "pre-flight"). Produces a five-part briefing - 4 ranked design decisions, 4 ranked concerns, 6 ranked questions, an open information request, and unconsidered solution dimensions - from a domain-fitting expert role. When subagents are available, dispatches fresh-context auditors to surface candidates the main thread is anchored against. Apply when intent is to gate…
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
# Prepare Next Steps ## Purpose Pre-flight reflection run once per phase, before autonomous build. User decomposes plans into phases of 8-10 work items. Surfaces decisions, risks, and unknowns from a domain expert's view so the user can resolve them before triggering execution. ## Trigger Phrases: "prepare next steps", "prep next steps", "before we build", "pre-flight", or near variants. Also when the next user message is plausibly a build trigger and no pre-flight has been produced. Do not run mid-build. ## Role Selection Derive the most fitting expert role from the phase domain (e.g. Database Engineer for schema, UX Designer for interaction). Apply that role's domain priorities throughout sections 1-5. For multi-domain phases, dispatch panel mode. ## Subagent Dispatch Skip if subagents unavailable; fall back to single-thread. **Mode:** single auditor (default) | panel of 2-3 parallel subagents with distinct domain roles (multi-domain or novel phases). Panel must include at least one structurally adversarial role (Security Engineer, SRE, future maintainer) when the phase has operational, security, or longevity implications. …

How to install
mdr add kalabint/llm-tooling/prepare-next-steps@sha256:bb4c032c11a65b91The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.47ea7d2, 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.
