Turns a request, ticket, PRD, design or thread into one plan a human approves and a builder can act on without the conversation: asks every gray area until no product decision is left to the builder, then writes the problem, EARS criteria with concrete values, the path and the data it touches (drawn in mermaid), the interface, and only the decisions that are hard to reverse. Captures that come with the request bind. Use when the user says "plan this", "plan feature", "specify feature…

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

# TLC Plan

Ask until nothing is the builder's to decide. Write it down so a stranger can build it.

```
┌─────┐   ┌───────┐   ┌──────┐   ┌─────────┐
│ ASK │ → │ SHAPE │ → │ CHECK│ → │ APPROVE │ → tlc-implement

```

The common failure of a coding agent is a requirement that never became an obligation, followed by
a completion claim. It starts here: a gray area the plan settled by guessing, a capture treated as
a suggestion, a sentence of the request that landed nowhere. This skill produces the one document a
human reads and objects to before any code exists, and it is the whole brief for whoever builds,
often a different agent with none of this conversation.

## Rules

1. Every criterion is one observable outcome with a concrete value - a status code, a field, a
   bound, a label - that one run settles. "Gracefully", a percentile or "the columns exist" is not
   a criterion.
2. Ask every gray area before presenting the plan: a decision that is the user's, has more than one
   defensible answer, and is not settled by the code. An assumption never stands in for a question

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tech-leads-club/agent-skills/tlc-plan@sha256:c7ce0c204bab59ad

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, 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.
