center SKILL.md skillA
center from pjt222/agent-almanac is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/center@v1.0Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

AI dynamic reasoning balance — maintaining grounded reasoning under cognitive pressure, smooth chain-of-thought coordination, and weight-shifting cognitive load across subsystems. Use at the beginning of a complex task requiring multiple coordinated reasoning threads, after a sudden context shift or tool failure, when chain-of-thought feels jerky, or when preparing for sustained focused work that requires all subsystems in alignment.
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
# Center Establish and maintain dynamic reasoning balance — grounding in foundational context before movement, distributing cognitive load across subsystems, and recovering equilibrium when demands shift mid-task. ## When to Use - Beginning a complex task where multiple reasoning threads must coordinate - Noticing that cognitive load is unevenly distributed (deep in one area, shallow in others) - After a sudden context shift (new user request, contradictory information, tool failure) - When chain-of-thought feels jerky — jumping between topics without smooth transitions - Preparing for sustained focused work that requires all subsystems in alignment - Complementing `meditate` (clears noise) with structural balance (distributes load) ## Inputs - **Required**: Current task context (available implicitly) - **Optional**: Specific imbalance symptom (e.g., "over-researching, under-delivering," "tool-heavy, reasoning-light") - **Optional**: Access to MEMORY.md and CLAUDE.md for grounding (via `Read`) ## Procedure ### Step 1: Establish Root — Ground Before Movement …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/center@sha256:3632837c45e181bfThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
