doubt-driven SKILL.md skillA

doubt-driven from outlinedriven/outline-driven-development is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add outlinedriven/outline-driven-development/doubt-driven@git:20260905.1f63894

Pins git:20260905.1f63894 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when a non-trivial decision sits under uncertainty and correctness matters more than speed. Not for patch review: use review. Not for plan attacks: use load-bearing-assumption-test.

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

# Doubt-driven development

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Non-trivial decision under uncertainty; correctness matters more than speed; a claim not checkable by the type system or compiler; before committing non-trivial code |
| Authority | Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Chat output: fresh-context adversarial review findings and reconciliation |
| Done | Every non-trivial decision named as a CLAIM and fresh-context reviewed; findings classified; a stop condition met |

## Inputs

- Artifact (required): the unit under scrutiny: a code diff, function, decision proposal, or assertion plus its supporting evidence.
- Contract (required): the constraint the artifact must satisfy.

## Procedure

1. **CLAIM.** Name the non-trivial decision compactly as `CLAIM: "<statement>"` plus `WHY THIS MATTERS: <consequence>`. A decision that cannot be stated that compactly is a vibe, not a decision; surface it before scrutinizing. Done when: the decision is stated as a compact CLAIM with its consequence.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add outlinedriven/outline-driven-development/doubt-driven@sha256:03c694754d9442f4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.1f63894, 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.
