Use when deciding whether a process is worth automating, sizing ROI and build-vs-buy, choosing an automation platform, or diagnosing why a fleet of automations keeps breaking — the decision layer before anyone builds. NOT building the flow (that is `automation-flows`, or `n8n` / `make` / `zapier` / `power-automate` to drive a live platform).
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
# Automation strategy — decide whether, where, and how before anyone builds This is the discipline layer of the automation suite. It answers three questions that come *before* the first node is wired: **should this be automated at all?**, **on what platform, and is a platform even the right tool vs code?**, and **what orchestration guarantees does every automation have to meet so the fleet doesn't rot?** No platform API, no importable JSON, no code lives here — the moment the decision is made, you route to the skill that builds it. Building the flow (design + importable artifact) → `../automation-flows/SKILL.md`. Driving a specific platform's live API/MCP → `../n8n/SKILL.md`, `../make/SKILL.md`, `../zapier/SKILL.md`, `../power-automate/SKILL.md`. A typed API client in code → `../api-connector-builder/SKILL.md`. Receiving webhooks in your own app → `../webhooks/SKILL.md`. …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/automation-strategy@sha256:09b39154e046e97bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.3ecb845, 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.
