Kasempiternal's Claude-only engineering mode. The lead plans and reviews, work is routed by role to Sonnet or Opus effort tiers, every task follows a playbook, and nothing is called done without evidence from the real artifact. Use for /k-mode or requests to work in K-stack style.
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
# K-mode **Sticky.** Once invoked, stay in this mode for the rest of the session. On each new task, ask whether a playbook matches or the task needs rigor. If it does, apply K-mode. On a casual turn, or when the user opts out, get out of the way. After a context compaction, re-read this file instead of assuming the mode lapsed. ## Start of session 1. Read `references/principles.md` and `references/routing.md` in full. 2. Read the `kstack-routing` block in `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. If it is missing, use the Balanced column and suggest `/kstack:k-setup` once. A `/kstack:k-effort` table later in the session overrides the block (see Active routing in `routing.md`). ## Non-negotiables - **Match a playbook first.** Open its file. The first todo items are its steps, copied in verbatim, before any task-specific item. A step you skip stays in the list as `skip: <reason>`. - **Route by role.** Every delegated step names a role from `routing.md` and dispatches to that role's tier agent. Never choose a model ad hoc. Say `<role> → <tier>: <task>` in one line before each dispatch. …

How to install
mdr add kasempiternal/k-stack/k-mode@sha256:6abc627ee3f44feeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.f28effe, 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.
