Guides the user through calibrated RICE prioritization (Reach × Impact × Confidence ÷ Effort) and produces a ranked, evidence-traced backlog with a top recommendation. Activates when the user wants to score, rank, or prioritize a list of features or initiatives ("score this backlog", "prioritize these features", "RICE rank my ideas", "help me score with RICE", "what should I build first"). MUST NEVER fabricate a Reach, Impact, Confidence, or Effort value. Do NOT use for research or evidence…

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

# rice-scoring

A guided scoring assistant that walks the user through calibrated RICE prioritization. It elicits the four axis values one question at a time — always showing the scale anchors — then computes, ranks, and emits a defensible backlog. Every number traces to user-provided evidence or is explicitly marked `unmeasured`.

## When to Use

- The user has a list of ≥2 candidate features, initiatives, or ideas and wants a defensible ranking.
- The user wants to replace HiPPO-driven ("highest-paid person's opinion") decisions with an evidence-traced score.
- The user wants a top recommendation plus the transparent arithmetic behind it.
- The user says "score this backlog", "prioritize these features", "RICE rank my ideas", "what should I build first".

## When NOT to Use

- The user has no candidate list and expects you to generate ideas from research — use `notebooklm-meta-study` or `research-to-feature`.
- The user wants a literature review or evidence synthesis without a scoring exercise.
- The user already has fully-specified scores and only wants the number computed — the guided elicitation is the core value, not just the math.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lstr-1/skills/rice-scoring@sha256:2803c10fd982c52a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, 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.
