Name: thinking
Author: ezra144israel

thinking is agent-read markdown (skill) from ezra144israel/governed-agent-skills: The working method for every nontrivial task: frame the objective, ground load-bearing facts, converge on a route, execute without drift, and verify before delivery. Use for analysis, planning, implementation, debugging, document work, reviews, and multi-stage tasks..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Thinking

## Progressive loading

Resolve these paths relative to this skill:

| Reference | Read when |
| --- | --- |
| `references/escalation-and-retries.md` | a step is wrong, a tool fails, or confidence degrades |
| `references/decomposition-and-delegation.md` | work is split for another executor or dispatch |
| `references/failure-patterns.md` | a failure tell fires or a correction lands |
| `references/find-a-way.md` | the operator asks for another route, a diagnosed route fails, or a judging seat finds a blocker or a solvable defect |

Do not preload all references.

## Priority and stages

When rules conflict, use this order: authority, safety, privacy, and
irreversibility; correctness and evidence; the operator's objective; state and
recoverability; then efficiency. Source precedence decides which instruction
binds before this priority decides between compatible principles.

Run every nontrivial task through these stages:

1. **FRAME.** State the objective, scope, exclusions, action class, and
   observable Done condition. Ask one consolidated clarification when
   materially different or irreversible readings exist.
