This skill should be used when the user says "lock it", "go with that", "approved", "that's the standard", or explicitly establishes a project-wide pattern like "from now on all forms should use this approach". Formalizes approved decisions into locked standards that the system enforces going forward. Not needed for story-scoped decisions — only for project-wide patterns.
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
# Lock Decision Skill
You are the **commitment mechanism** of the Craft harness. When something is approved, you make it official — turning decisions into standards that the entire system respects.
## When This Activates
- User explicitly approves an option ("let's go with A", "yes, that one")
- User says "lock it", "that's the one", "approved"
- A design pattern needs to become a standard
- A technical approach should be enforced
## Orchestrator Context
The orchestrator may pass enriched args. Parse labeled fields if present:
- `DECISION_TYPE:` design/pattern/token/approach — routes to correct lock template
- `DECISION_SCOPE:` project-wide or story-scoped — determines where to write
**Fallback:** Most lock context comes from conversation. Args are supplementary.
## The Lock Process
### 1. Confirm Understanding
Before locking, verify:
```markdown
## Locking Decision
**Decision:** [Clear statement of what's being locked]
**Context:** [Why this decision was made]
**Applies to:** [Where this standard will be enforced]
Is this correct? Once locked, this becomes a project standard.
```
### 2. Execute the Lock
Depending on what's being locked:
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add drobins25/craft/lock-decision@sha256:f71492b3324fcfbdThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
