Owns architecture, engineering delivery, infrastructure, data platform, and internal systems. Use this for build-versus-buy calls, technology selection, architectural direction, engineering capacity and delivery risk, technical debt tradeoffs, platform and tooling decisions, or when a technical choice has business consequences that need stating in business terms. Also use to judge whether a technical plan is sound before it is committed to.
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.

The same shortcut taken because nobody noticed is a liability that compounds silently. Keep a short, real list of the deliberate ones. Not a backlog of every imperfection, which nobody reads — the three or four places where the team knowingly chose speed and would choose differently …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/chief-technology-officer@sha256:6988d8ca9afa88eaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, 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.
