Resolve material unknowns blocking the next authorized slice, using research, grilling, prototypes, models, or wayfinding. Record durable decisions and apply the shared workflow tier rule.

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-design

Use when a material choice blocks the next slice. Read
[Decisions and readiness](~/maestro/WORKFLOW.md#decisions-and-readiness) and
[Authorization boundaries](~/maestro/WORKFLOW.md#authorization-boundaries).
Design is read-only toward production code and authorizes nothing.

## Mode per unknown

Identify what kind of unknown blocks progress, then load only the reference
that resolves it:

| The unknown | Mode | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Decisions only the user can make, several and interdependent | grill | [references/grilling.md](references/grilling.md) |
| A decision owned by someone not in the conversation | route to `maestro-questionnaire` | |
| A fact in docs, APIs, or source outside this repo | research | `maestro recipe show investigation` |
| "Does this state model feel right?" or "What should it look like?" | prototype | `maestro recipe show prototype` |
| Fuzzy terminology, or a hard-to-reverse choice worth recording | model | [references/domain-modeling.md](references/domain-modeling.md) |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add reinamaccredy/maestro/maestro-design@sha256:d1131a6a55eaefe7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.bda094d, 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.
