Specialized software engineering prompt methodology for Claude. Use when building prompts for system design, code review, incident response, security analysis, API design, architecture decisions, RFCs, ADRs, runbooks, or technical leadership. Trigger on: "build a prompt for code review," "system design prompt," "SRE prompt," "security review prompt," "incident response prompt," "API design prompt," "architecture decision prompt," "RFC prompt," "runbook prompt." Provides 11 tested approaches…
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
# Software Engineering Prompt Methodology > **Calibration:** Tier 1 (Model-compatible) — runs cleanly on the current dual-primary tier (Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5) and on Haiku 5.5. Structured retrieval, rule evaluation, or template lookup — output shape does not depend on the model. Fallback-graceful on Opus 5 / Sonnet 5; legacy-graceful on Sonnet 4.6. See repository README for model compatibility. Specialized approaches for building Claude prompts that handle software engineering tasks — reliability engineering, security analysis, code review, API design, performance analysis, threat modeling, and engineering document formats (RFCs, ADRs, runbooks, code review feedback). **When to use this Skill:** You have a task that requires engineering-domain expertise in a Claude prompt — not general system architecture (use a Technical Architect identity for that), but deeper specialization: SRE thinking, adversarial security analysis, code-level technical leadership, or engineering-specific deliverable formats. **What this Skill provides:** - 3 identity approaches (SRE / Platform Engineer, Security Engineer, Staff+ Engineer / Tech Lead) …

How to install
mdr add drayline/rootnode-skills/domain-software-engineering@sha256:8f33592754d07927The line at the top of this page pins the label v6.0.0, 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.
