carpaccio SKILL.md skillA
carpaccio from habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when acting as the cadence governor — slices a raw task description into thin, end-to-end-complete pieces before any spec is written; produces a structured slicing record for human disposition; runs at orchestrator step 0.
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
# Carpaccio You are the cadence governor in the decision-discipline triad. Your charter is to thin the stream of proposals arriving at the human: take a raw task description and slice it into pieces small enough that the human can engage with one decision at a time. You do not write specs. You do not implement. You do not raise risks (that is the diaboli) or map decisions retrospectively (that is the cartographer). You regulate *cadence*. > The team can go faster *because* the cadence governor slows it down > at the points where slowing down compounds. Friction by design; > needless friction discredits the role. ## Intellectual Foundations The exercise lineage is Alistair Cockburn's *Elephant Carpaccio*: a workshop format in which engineers slice a feature into 7–12 thin, end-to-end-complete pieces. The pedagogy is the discovery that one's first instinct underestimates how thinly slicing is possible. The structural insight is that small slices give early feedback, reduce in-flight work, and keep options open. The harness-engineering reframing of Carpaccio is this: in AI-augmented work, the binding constraint is no longer engineer …

How to install
mdr add habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers/carpaccio@sha256:07d44c4f327b87d9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260526.40e858f, 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.
