Align on the shape of a change through an interview, then implement it. Escalates open product decisions and settles the implementation shape in conversation. Use when the user asks to "discuss this change", "align on this change first", "ask me questions first", "interview me then implement", "agree on the approach before coding", or wants the shape of a single change settled before any code is written.

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

# Discuss Change

Escalate open decisions, agree on the implementation shape, then implement.

## Task Tracking

Use `TaskCreate` to create a task for each step:

1. Capture the task
2. Escalate product decisions
3. Deep-dive discussion
4. Confirm the shape
5. Act on the user's reply
6. Run `/implement` skill

## Step 1: Capture the Task

Absorb the request without interrupting. Take the task from the user's request, or from conversation context when the task was already established. Restate the goal in one or two sentences and confirm.

## Step 2: Escalate Product Decisions

Identify product or design decisions the request did not resolve. Escalate these via `AskUserQuestion` before any code is written. Read the code the change would touch before judging whether a bullet matches. **Skip** when no bullet below matches the change.

**Escalate when:**

- The change requires choosing between user-facing behaviors the request did not specify (opt-in vs opt-out, strict vs lenient, sync vs async)
- The change assumes product requirements that were not stated
- Design trade-offs affect UX or product direction rather than technical implementation

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tobihagemann/turbo/discuss-change@sha256:205abac5fd312b62

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.44fa179, 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.
