Converge with the PM on a problem's shape. Size first if unsized.

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

# Shape

Converge with the PM on **what the problem actually is** before the EM goes solo on **how to
solve it**. Plans fuse a PM-owned PRD half (the problem, what "solved" means) with an EM-owned
SDD half (architecture, fix-locus, sequencing); `/shape` is the missing rigor for the PRD half: a
short, collaborative beat whose only exit is a ratified problem-set that altitude-routes to the
horizon-appropriate downstream ceremony (`coordinator:plan`, `coordinator:roadmap-planning`, or
`coordinator:goal-setting`).

**Strategic ceremony, not tactical clarification.** Operates at the altitude of product intent,
scope boundaries, and success criteria — questions only the PM can resolve. Tactical
uncertainties (naming, file structure, test framework, commit shape, refactor mechanics) are EM
remit and do NOT belong in a `/shape` exchange (`global CLAUDE.md § PM Altitude`).

**Announce:** "Using `/shape` to converge on the problem before we plan a solution."

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dbc-oduffy/coordinator-claude/shape@sha256:7ab6460f01f41fd6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
