Run a Request for Comments process so a proposal reaches the right audience, collects objections inside a bounded window, and records a decision people can point to later. Use when a change affects teams beyond the author's and needs durable buy-in.

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

# RFC process

An RFC moves a decision out of hallway conversations and into a written proposal
that anyone affected can read and challenge on the record. The process fails in
two opposite directions: a comment window so short that dissent never surfaces,
and one so open-ended that the proposal never converges and the author quietly
ships whatever they wanted from the start.

## Method

1. **Scope the audience before you write a line.** Decide who is affected, who
   must approve, and who is only informed. An RFC blasted to everyone is read by
   no one; an RFC that skips the team owning the code it touches gets vetoed
   after the author has already built it.
2. **State the decision in the first paragraph.** The proposal, the problem it
   solves, and what changes if it is accepted. A reader should know within a
   minute whether this touches them and whether they object.
3. **Put a real comment deadline in the document.** One to two weeks suits most
   cross-team RFCs. A named date turns "I'll get to it" into a commitment and
   tells the author the exact moment they are cleared to move.
4. **Make silence a stated rule, not a hope.** Declare up front what silence
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/rfc-process@sha256:32b072082a43e3c8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.fac4544, 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.
