Guide embedded technical engagements from ambiguous stakeholder need through discovery, framing, hypothesis, build, evaluation, deployment, adoption, measurement, and generalization while preserving evidence, decision rights, and field learning. Use when one accountable technical lead must carry continuity across customer or stakeholder discovery, implementation, production fit, adoption, and measurable outcomes. Do not use for a bounded repository change, product investment governance…
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
# Forward-Deployed Engineering Use this bundle when the work is an embedded technical engagement whose success depends on continuity, not merely a recommendation or a code change. This is a normative operating model synthesized from the role observations in [source-index.md](references/source-index.md) and from routed specialist methods; the nine-stage sequence is not an externally standardized methodology. ## Lifecycle `Discover → Frame → Hypothesize → Build → Evaluate → Deploy → Adopt → Measure → Generalize` | Stage | Required question | Minimum output | Stop condition | |---|---|---|---| | Discover | What user workflow and problem are real? | [Stakeholder/workflow map](templates/stakeholder-workflow-map.md) and unknowns | No recognizable problem or access to the relevant workflow | | Frame | What is in scope, who decides, and what outcome matters? | [Engagement charter](templates/engagement-charter.md) and [assumptions/decisions/risks ledger](templates/assumptions-decisions-risks-ledger.md) | Authority, constraints, or outcome cannot be named | …

How to install
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/forward-deployed-engineering@sha256:e302cf769372836eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260814.a315b77, 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.
