use-case-design SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

use-case-design from nerviz-ai/nerviz is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nerviz-ai/nerviz/use-case-design@git:20261020.a3a3343

Pins git:20261020.a3a3343 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Delimits a use case's boundary and emits the parent spec that the layer skills detail — trigger, payload, response, side effects, invariants, errors, and canonical names. Use when the request involves "new use case", "design before implementing", "implementation spec", a new endpoint/event/job, or when a request bundles several actions and it's necessary to know whether it's one use case or several. First piece of the `/new-feature` pipeline.

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

## Already-designed use cases

!`find "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}/docs/use-cases" -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'UC-*' 2>/dev/null | sort | tail -5`

Empty above → none yet, this will be `UC-001`. (`find`, not an `ls` glob: under zsh an unmatched glob
aborts the command before any fallback runs.)

# Use Case Design

Produces the use case's **parent spec**: the boundary, the flow, and the canonical
names every layer inherits. Writes no code. Weighs no storage technology: the storage family
and the search engine come from the request — stated, or inferred without ambiguity — or from one
factual question with no criteria and no recommendation; weighing them belongs to a planned
solution-design step (`@.claude/decisions/0147-document-storage-and-search-architect.md`). The
audit level is recorded only when the request asks for it, never proposed
(`@.claude/decisions/0149-auditing-variant-of-persistence-architect.md`). The
inbound protocol is the one technology asked with criteria, those of
`@.claude/rules/api-graphql.md` (`0146`).

**Entry rule: one use case, one side effect.** Before any question, apply the

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nerviz-ai/nerviz/use-case-design@sha256:af2cff126a79a560

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.a3a3343, 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.
