Structured deliberation support for decisions worth sitting with — ethical questions, architecture choices, trade-offs, decisions where the user wants clarity rather than a handed-down conclusion. Use when a question deserves genuine discernment; may involve clearness, discernment, or gathered depending on the situation.

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

# Deliberation

## Overview

Decision-making through deliberation — seeking unity through discernment rather than consensus through debate.

*This approach draws on Quaker business practice, adapted for AI-assisted decision-making.*

**Core insight:** Some decisions deserve more than quick answers. These skills provide structured approaches for genuine discernment.

## The Three Skills

| Skill | Purpose | When to Use |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| `deliberation:discernment` | Internal voices seeking clarity | Weighty questions, ethical decisions, trade-offs, multiple valid approaches |
| `deliberation:clearness` | Multi-agent committee with parallel deep work | Code reviews, architecture decisions, research needing distributed depth |
| `deliberation:gathered` | User participates alongside agent voices | User has stake/perspective, wants to discern together rather than receive advice |

## Routing Logic

```dot
digraph deliberation_routing {
    "Question received" [shape=box];
    "User has stake/perspective?" [shape=diamond];
    "Needs parallel deep analysis?" [shape=diamond];
    "Weighty question?" [shape=diamond];

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 2389-research/deliberation/deliberation@sha256:6c28e4e7fb4c3177

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.cc47dcd, 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.
