Review a project's current linked-intent-development (LID) usage against LID's own principles and produce a prioritized report of recommendations for getting more out of the methodology. Invoke when the user runs /lid-coach, asks for a LID review, asks how they could use LID better, wants feedback on their LID setup, or asks what LID antipatterns might be present in their project. This is a principle-level advisory review, distinct from /update-lid (configuration reconciliation) and…

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

# LID Coach

Reviews a project's current LID usage against LID's own principles and produces a prioritized set of recommendations. The posture is advisory: the project works; this skill tells the user where patterns are drifting from LID's principles or leaving value on the table.

This skill is invoked only by the `/lid-coach` command. It does not auto-trigger — a principle review reads a broad slice of the project and would be wasteful to fire opportunistically.

## What this skill is *not*

- **Not a configuration reconciler.** That is `/update-lid`. When a finding implies a configuration change, point the user there.
- **Not a structural auditor.** That is `/arrow-maintenance` (when the overlay is installed). When a finding is structural in nature — orphans, reverse orphans, adjacent-level coherence, `index.yaml` drift — surface the pattern and recommend `/arrow-maintenance` for the precise enumeration. Do not attempt to enumerate structural instances from sampled reads.
- **Not a file editor.** Advisory posture is load-bearing. Produce the report; the user applies.

## Dispatch

On invocation, inspect the project and take exactly one of these actions:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jszmajda/lid/lid-coach@sha256:873d7e81a8f0bc6c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.1d757f3, 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.
