Drafts a design document section-by-section using the concepts brief from egm-brainstorm (or user notes). This is the second step in the Elephant-Goldfish (EGM) feature flow. Use when you are ready to write a design doc after aligning on requirements + solution.

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

# Design Drafting (Document Construction)

When running in Codex or ChatGPT Work, first read [Codex integration](../../docs/codex.md).
In Claude Code or Cowork, read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/claude.md` first.

This skill guides the user through drafting a technical design document based on
the aligned problem and requirements from the brainstorm phase.

## Execution Constraints (CRITICAL)

1.  You **MUST** read and apply the
    execution instructions in `resources/execution_instructions.md`.
2.  **Artifact-First Delivery (MANDATORY)**: You are **STRICTLY FORBIDDEN** from
    presenting large proposals, drafts, summaries, or plans directly in the chat
    pane. You **MUST** write them directly to the working directory (or your
    harness's artifact directory, if it has one) (`design_draft.md` or
    `./design_draft.md`) using your file-writing tool and tell the user in chat
    the file path and ask for review. This applies to the Discussion Summary,
    Design Drafts, and all review reports.
3.  **Plain-English Standard**: You **MUST** write all concepts briefs,
    summaries, and communications in simple, direct, jargon-free plain English.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add google/elephant-goldfish-model/egm-draft@sha256:2c107ecd3751635d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.de27902, 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.
