Guides selection of identity, reasoning, and output approaches for Claude prompts based on task characteristics. Trigger on: "help me choose an approach," "which approach fits this task," "recommend a prompt pattern," "compare reasoning methods," "map this task to the right approach," "what combination of approaches," "which identity fits," "which reasoning method." Also trigger on symptom-phrased: "my prompt feels generic," "I don't know which approach to use," "my output lacks domain depth.…
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
# Approach Selection for Claude Prompts > **Calibration:** Tier 2 (Sonnet-graceful) — designed against Opus 5.5 + Sonnet 5.5 dual-primary. Runs on Haiku 5.5 at `high` effort with less depth on multi-dimensional analysis; fallback-graceful on Opus 5 / Sonnet 5; legacy-graceful on Sonnet 4.6. Start at the model's default effort (`medium` on Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 in Claude Code; `high` for Sonnet 5.5 on the Claude API) and re-run an effort sweep on your own evals rather than carrying a setting over. See repository README for model compatibility. This Skill provides the decision logic for choosing the right identity, reasoning method, and output format when building a Claude prompt. Given a task description, it maps task characteristics to the best-fit approach in each category. ## When to Use This Skill Use this when you need to decide: - Which identity (role) fits a task - Which reasoning method produces the best analytical depth for the task shape - Which output format matches the deliverable - When to combine approaches across categories - When core approaches are sufficient vs. when domain-specific approaches add value …

How to install
mdr add drayline/rootnode-skills/block-selection@sha256:a50af6f9ee1fc783The line at the top of this page pins the label v6.0.0, 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.
