This skill should be used when users mention 'generate rules', 'isolation rules', 'methodology preset', 'apply preset', 'saturation', 'am I saturated', 'branch', 'fork', 'explore alternative', 'team', 'add researcher', 'intercoder reliability', 'dashboard', 'show status', or after /qual-design completes.

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

> Script paths: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` below is this plugin's root folder, two levels above this skill's own folder. Claude Code fills it in. If you see it unfilled, still starting with a dollar sign (as in Codex, Copilot CLI or Kimi Code), put that folder's absolute path in its place before you run a command.

# Methodological Rules Skill

Comprehensive methodological support: isolation rules, strain detection, saturation tracking, workspace branching, multi-researcher collaboration, and visualization.

## When to Use This Skill

**Triggers:**

- "team" / "add researcher" / "intercoder reliability"
- "dashboard" / "show status" / "visualize"
- After `/qual-design` completes
- When research_design changes in config

**Auto-invoked:**
- By `PostPhaseTransition` hook when sandwich_status changes
- By `project-setup` skill after design configuration

## What This Skill Does

1. **Reads research design** from `config.json`
2. **Generates Claude Code rules** in `.claude/rules/`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add linxule/interpretive-orchestration/methodological-rules@sha256:16192a3cd829fc0b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.ab6c96f, 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.
