carpaccio skillA
carpaccio is agent-read markdown (skill) from habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers: 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.
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
# 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@git:20260526.40e858fmdr add habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers/carpaccio@sha256:07d44c4f327b87d9Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
