Template loading, variable filling, and scaffolding for all GSD artifacts. Manages 22+ templates covering every document type in the GSD system, from PROJECT.md to milestone archives.

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.

### 7. Template Discovery

List available templates:

```
Available templates:
  project          - Project definition (PROJECT.md)
  requirements     - Requirements specification (REQUIREMENTS.md)
  roadmap          - Development roadmap (ROADMAP.md)
  state            - Project state (STATE.md)
  context          - Phase context (CONTEXT.md)
  summary          - Phase summary (SUMMARY.md) [3 variants]
  phase-prompt     - Phase plan (PLAN.md)
  ...
```

### 8. Template Variant Selection

Automatic variant selection based on context:

```javascript
function selectSummaryVariant(context) {
  if (context.isQuickTask) return 'summary-minimal';
  if (context.taskCount <= 3) return 'summary-minimal';
  if (context.taskCount <= 8) return 'summary-standard';
  return 'summary-complex';
}
```

## Tool Use Instructions

### Loading and Filling a Template
1. Use `Glob` to locate the template file in `templates/`
2. Use `Read` to load the template content
3. Replace all `{{VARIABLE}}` placeholders with provided values

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/template-scaffolding@sha256:4fd3f50e1dc3a379

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
