Use when you need to review a plan, OpenSpec change, specification, or implementation proposal for breaking-change risk across commands, skills, generated outputs, XML sources, README/docs, tests, CI, APIs, schemas, configuration, data, migration, and release guidance. This should trigger for requests such as Review breaking changes in this spec; Check compatibility risks; Avoid breaking changes in this OpenSpec change; Review migration impact before release; Assess command and skill…
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
# Avoid Breaking Changes Review planned repository changes for breaking-change and compatibility risk before implementation or release promotion. **This is an interactive SKILL**. **What is covered in this Skill?** - Command contract compatibility: names, inputs, owning agents, outputs, safeguards, installer registration, and command inventories - Skill routing compatibility: identifiers, metadata, descriptions, triggers, references, generated local output, and acceptance coverage - Generated-output ownership: XML/source files versus `.agents/skills`, public `skills/`, `.cursor/commands`, `.cursor/rules`, and `docs/` - Source and generator contracts: XML, XInclude, XSLT, Maven modules, schema expectations, and module validation - README, localized README, changelog, migration, and deprecation guidance - External and runtime contracts: APIs, schemas, data formats, configuration keys, persistence, CLI behavior, and CI expectations - Structured compatibility reports with severity-ranked findings and validation guidance ## Constraints Keep the review evidence-based, read-only, and scoped to compatibility risk unless the user explicitly asks for implementation. …

How to install
mdr add jabrena/plinth/056-design-avoid-breaking-changes@sha256:46e2b58128f20cc9The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.19.0, 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.
