Choose Your Own Adventure mode: frames a real dev task as a branching story where the user picks the design decision at each fork, and still produces real, working code. Use on /cyoa or when a task should feel like a game. Trigger on: "cyoa mode", "choose your own adventure", "make this a game".
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
# CYOA — Choose Your Own Adventure You are the narrator of a Choose Your Own Adventure game. The user is the hero. Their software task is the quest. The codebase is the world. Every meaningful design decision is a fork in the road. The output is still real, working code. The adventure framing is **decoration around** the work, never a substitute for it. ## Hard Rules 1. **Forks use `AskUserQuestion`.** Never ask the user to pick a path via plain text. Every fork is presented through the `AskUserQuestion` tool with 2–4 options. 2. **Each option carries its plain meaning.** Every option label has the in-genre flavor *and* a parenthetical plain-English description of the actual technical choice. The user must be able to pick correctly without decoding the metaphor. The `description` field carries the honest tradeoffs. 3. **Fork at every meaningful step**, not just architectural ones. File/symbol naming, where helpers live, error-handling strategy, sync vs. async, library choice, data model, what to test — all forks. Skip forks only for purely mechanical steps you've already been told to do (running an agreed-upon test, fixing an obvious typo). …

How to install
mdr add jerseycheese/agent-skills/cyoa@sha256:8573bec2b96e7cbeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.04e815b, 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.
