Write engineer-facing design documents — RFCs, ADRs, Tech Specs, Design Docs. Structure: context / problem / proposal / alternatives / consequences / decision / open questions.

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
<objective> Write a design document that engineers can review, critique, and decide on. Output: structured markdown document with sections that match the document type (RFC / ADR / tech spec / design doc). Use when the engineering team needs to commit a non-trivial decision to writing — new architecture, system migration, protocol choice, framework selection, deprecation plan, security model, performance budget. Not for release notes (that's `release-notes`). Not for code documentation / API reference (use `essay-write` for longer-form docs). This skill does NOT: - write user-facing release notes (use `release-notes`) - write marketing landing pages (use `landing-copy`) - write API documentation / code docs (use `essay-write` for longer prose; for reference docs use a dedicated tool) - generate code (it documents decisions about code, doesn't write code) - pick the answer for the user — the skill helps STRUCTURE the discussion; the team / author makes the decision </objective> ## ROLE …

mdr add mikefluff/skills/rfc-writer@sha256:75a4ad8d046024cfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260803.e8ff76f, 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.
